Did any body notice the following errors in ETABS...how to correct them!
1) if you once enabled the dynamic analysis and put the response parameters in etabs and run the analysis.....and then you want to remove the dynamic thing and want to solve it in static by removing dyanmic analysis tick mark in analysis options and deleting the response spectrum cases spec x and y and its function now u run the file and you will not see the seismic calculations in FILE>PRINT TABLES>SUMMARY....
no calculations about Time period etc...why is it so?
2)if your default units are say kip-ft....you goto FILE>PRINT TABLES>SUMMARY and u will see the seismic calculations for base shear depedent on seismic weight W in kips.....like
1) V=0.002W
2) V=0.006W
3) V=0.1W
now the interesting thing...you change your units from kip-ft and then goto the same summary...you will see that ETABS will give you wrong calculations for the base shear...lolx
