Does Bentley have recommendations for modeling wood shear wall stiffness in RAM SS? I am working on a concrete podium project with 4 stories of wood framing above the top concrete level. I would like to do a 2 stage lateral analysis in RAM SS to determine the lateral loads applied on the concrete podium structure. The design of the wood framing will all be done by hand but I wanted to know if there are recommendations for wall properties for wood shear walls in modeler to adequately model the relative stiffness of the wood structure.
