concrete shear wall

Post by sjavadinasab »

Hi
I want to simulate a concrete shear wall in opensees, based on an initial model in SAP2000. The shear wall has a 2x6(2 horizontal rows and 6 vertical columns) mesh grid and is connected to the ground by 7 nodes. What is the simplest way to define a shear wall in opensees like one defined in SAP200?? Is it possible to define a shear wall element surrounded by 4 nodes??
