Thickness [in]: Enter the thickness value used to calculate the weight of the intermediate diaphragm. Stiffness of the created finite elements do not affected by this input. During construction of diaphragms user can decide between including diaphragm weight as a load and ignoring the diaphragms' load effects to the model.
Material: Set the material for the intermediate diaphragm. It is possible to consider the weight of the intermediate diaphragm and apply it as loads in stage construction analysis.
