I am also trying to model masonry infill wall using compressive strut in SAP2000. I followed similar steps as Venkatesh mentioned above. I am trying to assign a Axial p hinge to infill frame section (with end moments released and tension limits set to zero) but it shows 'error in assigning hinges: requested calculated properties may not be available for material or section type.' What should I do? Please help me.
Yes I solved it but I don't exactly remember as to where I faced that problem (at which step) in SAP 2000. Send me a simple model and I will let you know where the problem is.
