| - | Auto-generate a backbone curve for a panel using the Ultimate Shear value for the panel generated by the [[com:SHEAR]]. This command will always generate a 22 point BBC the first point cracking point of the curve. The next 20 points will equidistant spaced along the strain percentage axis until the yield point is reached. The final point all BBCs will be at (2%,1.02*Ultimate Shear). All of the Shear model variables specified by the user are optional. If the user leaves a shear model argument blank the command will use 0 for that variable. This command assumes the panel references a non-empty group with a uniform material across all elements. | + | The BBCGEN command automatically generate the backbone curve(s) for a single panel or all panels using the computed ultimate shear strength values that are identical with those obtained using the SHEAR command. The user can run first the [[com:SHEAR]] and get the computed shear strength estimates based on ACI 318-08, Wood, Barda and Gulec-Whittaker empirical equations. Before using the BBCGEN command, the user needs to decide which of the four shear strength models described for the SHEAR command would like to use for the nonlinear SSI analysis via Option NON. |

| + | The BBCGEN command always generates a 22 point BBC curves, the first point being the cracking point of the BBC curve. The next 20 points will be equidistantly spaced along the strain axis until the yield point is reached. The final shear failure point for all BBC curves will be defined by default at (shear strain = 2% and shear force = 1.02 x ultimate shear force value). | ||

| + | All of the shear strength model parameters specified by the user in the BBCGEN command are optional. If the user leaves a command parameter blank, the command will use 0 for that variable. This command assumes the panel references a non-empty group with a uniform material across all elements. It user responsibility to check that all elements within a panel have same thickness and elastic material properties. | ||
