Hi, I will be modelling a structure composed of two towers (12 floors each) and will have a common podium of 1 floors. I will be using ETABS 2016 because of the "Multiple-Towers" option. Here are my questions:
- Is that mode working or it is in BETA status?
- If it is working, can you give me tips on how to use it? I've checked YouTube and there are only few videos about it and none of those showed an example.
- Another concern is structure period, this should be different for each tower, however, ETABS will present only one period which is a function of the top story assigned.
- In connection with #3, Static Base Shear will also be affected, and we know that the succeeding structural analysis will depend on this.
I'm really new in this "Multiple-tower" set up so if someone can help me, I would really appreciate. Thank you
