Panel Stack

A stack of wall panels can be designed in a single Eriksson Wall run. When doing this the stripping and handling analysis will be disabled and if desired a new file will have to be created containing just the element you are interested in. To model a stack of wall panels, simply enter the geometry, loading, restraints, and reinforcement for the entire stack. Joints between the members can be modeled by putting a moment release at that location. Reinforcement will not be cut at moment releases automatically, instead a reinforcement interrupt should be used to cut reinforcement at this location. It is done this way so that if fixity from one panel to another is desired, it will be possible to run reinforcement from one panel into the adjacent panel(s).
