Sparked by a reddit inquiry, I have added an example on my github to access the database table results using the ETABs API. The python code can be found on github.

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 - …
