Etabs Mass Summary By Story

Failure to audit the mass summary is a common source of hidden errors in performance-based design.

When area elements span across story levels (a common mistake in wall modeling), the story-level mass lumping can be compromised. Auto area meshing applied to shear walls also prevents proper mass lumping. The solution is careful modeling: each story should be represented by its own level, and elements should be subdivided accordingly. etabs mass summary by story
