How to solve with flexible diaphragm? Should it be done?

[emresezer]

Since there are no floors in a project we want to do, I want to make a solution according to the flexible diaphragm method. In my research on the site, it says that a solution can be made with a flexible diaphragm, but I could not find any adjustments for this. Eaves level is 7.50 m, ridge height is 9.50 m. We have an intermediate beam at 5.10 m elevation. The system ends with inclined beams, we do not have flooring on it, we will cover it with steel purlins instead of a deck. For such a system, does it make sense to make a solution according to the flexible diaphragm method? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

Hello there; From the image you have attached, it is seen that there is no flooring in your project, so it would be better not to accept a rigid diaphragm (full or semi-rigid) system without a diaphragm.

I would be grateful if you could inform me which way I should follow for the diaphragm-free solution. Thanks.

Ok, I found how to do it, I marked the option for the solution without diaphragm Thanks.

Hello, it's been a while, but I couldn't find an option in the analysis settings for a solution without a diaphragm. Where do we choose?

Hi, it's been a while, but I couldn't find an option in the analysis settings for a solution without a diaphragm. Where do we choose from?

If there is no flooring on the floor, the program asks you to create a rigid diaphragm at the beginning of the analysis. There is a solution option without a rigid diaphragm in the dialog.If you want to set up a model without a rigid diaphragm even though there is a slab, you must select all slabs on the floor and select the "Create rigid diaphragm" option in the static tab.
