Semi-rigid diaphragm analysis time in cassette floors

[yunussacikk]

hello, when I use semi-rigid diaphragm in my cassette-floored project, my understanding time is getting longer. can i solve it with full rigid diaphragm

Are finite elements used in fully rigid solution?

Hello, Although there is no special case for the choice of rigid diaphragm in the regulation on cassette flooring, we recommend semi-rigid solution. In the preliminary design, the analysis time can be shortened by enlarging the finite element widths. In the final design, you can analyze by reducing the finite element widths. Good work

Are finite elements used in slabs in a fully rigid solution?

are finite elements used in slabs in fully rigid solution?

In the program, slab calculations are always and for each storey solved by finite element method. However, slabs in fully rigid solution are not included in the whole construction analysis model.
