If concrete walls have been modeled as meshed, when the structure is analyzed they will initially adopt the mesh type and size specified in Structure Properties. You can however override these in order to apply a user defined mesh to individual walls if necessary. Extra consideration of the analysis model may be required if openings have been placed within meshed walls.

By default FE meshed walls are created with isotropic analysis properties. Othotropic properties can be specified if required to model walls that are assumed to predominantly "one-way spanning", such as masonry wall panels and cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels.
