Hello Everyone, A very short announcement. You might have noticed, I have trimmed the forum outlook. Some forums have been deleted or renamed and other merged with the existing ones. Also, all non-active moderators have been removed. These days I am looking for a custom invision board skin that is green in color to apply to forum. Also thinking about changing the logo of the forum. Your suggestions are welcome Thanks.

Please create a new section entirely dedicated to THE fem. I will send you my suggestion about the logo. For the rest of the changes, please go ahead. We need new attire and colors.

Rana has made a good point. You should be careful about what you want to include in your analysis model and what you want to exclude. Without good understanding of meshing and a fervor to model everything would result in highly erroneous models. Also excluding important items like staircases and ramps, would change the response of your structure under seismic loads. There is no rule but thought should be given before setting up the analytical model. Like Rumi said, the art of knowing is knowing what to ignore. Thanks.
