Diaphragm Construction [SPIG]

Diaphragm Construction

Stage: Construction stage in which the selected diaphragm is activated.

Diaphragm: Diaphragm object constructed in this stage.

Continuity Diaphragms Construction Method [Weight only/Stiffness only/Weight and Stiffness]: Controls how the continuity diaphragm is added to the FE model. Weight only applies self-weight without stiffness; Stiffness only adds stiffness without self-weight; Weight and Stiffness does both.

Construct Connection Only [No/Yes]: When Yes, only the connection between the continuity diaphragm and adjacent girders is constructed at this stage, not the diaphragm body itself.
