A major upgrade to the section cutter tool, section cuts are now centered on the first and last location where they pass through constituent area geometry. An astute engineer in our office noticed that …
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 …

@316Jq, The way I understand, the diaphragm design force (inertia force) per 12.10.1.1 is the inertia force.
Using the blog example numbers let's say this is 1392 kips.
The transfer diaphragm force could be estimated to be the delta in shears above and below the transfer level ~ (1500 - …

Just wonder how do you separate inertia force and the transfer force? The inertia force might be controlled by the Fpx,min per ASCE12.10-2, while the transfer force might need to be multiplied by rho or omega. This is also briefly discussed in NHERP design guidance you used.

Hi Rodrigio, thanks for reaching out.
My email is retug.austin@gmail.com, feel free to shoot me an email.
The section cutter tool needs a bit of updating to work with the newer version of ETABs, but happy to discuss what you might have in mind for the add-in.
Thanks
