Member Stiffness Modification

There are several types available for the member stiffness modification:

Multiplier Factors

You can adjust the stiffness in two ways using the "Multiplier Factors":

Total stiffness: All elements of the stiffness matrix are uniformly multiplied by the factor "k."
Partial stiffnesses, weights, and masses: The elements of the stiffness matrix and the weight can be modified by specific factors.

Settings for US and Canadian Codes

For US and Canadian standards, there are some modification options to apply stiffness factors in compliance with the standards.
