Hello, when I add the wall load in the image as an element to the “Assemble Model,” the structure becomes very rigid, and the maximum displacement is quite low. I think Karamba recognizes these walls as shear walls and includes them in the load-bearing system. However, I’m adding these walls to increase the mass of the structure and want to model them as “plastered brick walls.” Without adding this element to the “Assemble Model,” the mass appears low, compromising the model’s accuracy. How can I include these walls in the model in a way that increases the mass without reducing the displacement?
Dear @fatma2,
In the images above, I can’t see where the loads have been applied. Without the Grasshopper definition, it’s difficult for me to identify the issue. Could you share a simplified definition that reproduces the problem you’re encountering?

The wall loads in this model make it unnecessarily rigid. I want to create a plastered brick wall model. Also, the G+Q loads I added significantly reduce the maximum drift.
In Karamba, is it necessary to define extra G+nQ in the Assemble Model to calculate drift with AnalizThll? In my current model, I use these loads to calculate the base shear force.
Hi, i am slightly confused with the script as you have models with beams, columns, walls and slabs combined which seem to overlap eachother. Why do you not apply the walls as simple beam loads?
