  • Curtains should be added in the desired direction in accordance with the A12 carrier system in the project .

  • If a curtain will not be used in the structure, in the Analysis Settings / TBDY 2018 Earthquake Code Wizard, A11 for High Ductility Level Systems and A31 for Systems with Limited Ductility Level can be selected.
