I am sure im posting my problem in the right place. I am having problem using 4 nonded Quad elements. Its a 2D model of a shear wall. Since it is a 2D model it gives my forces in x and y directions only. Is there any way I can get moments? I have done a time history analysis using Quad elements,so point of inflection can fluctuate therefore it is not possible to get the Moment by simply shear force into full height of wall. I dont know how to get moments from this model,if I calculate using maximum shear force at each storey and total height as shear span the results seems wrong . Can you please explain,is there any way I can get the moment directly from opensees?
