Deltek is a powerful tool to track all things AEC related. At my level, I use it mostly for project management and tracking project budgets.
You can get a lot of powerful reports out of it quickly, but at face value, it's just a sea ...
I have been working through some complicated diaphragm designs with a newer engineer recently and have been learning a lot about transfer diaphragms. I realized I was falling into some pitfalls and it was good working through this with the newer engineer. One of the great things ...

My understanding is that for a 5-story building you would have:
- (1) load case A (ELF)
- (1) load case B for each level except the roof so total (4)
- therefore (4) load combos for diaphragm design
I believe the intent is to envelope higher mode actions as you mentioned ...
