Create copies of members in the same plane as shear walls for resultant beams.

Set intermediate points on resultant beams before assigning surfaces to avoid bugs and improve shear resolution.

Assign appropriate surfaces to resultant beams to accumulate shear loads accurately, considering load directions and seismic effects.

Summary

This video tutorial explains the concept of resultant beams, their purpose in structural analysis, and the step-by-step process to create and use them for determining shear in shear walls. It covers creating copies of members, setting intermediate points, assigning surfaces, and practical considerations for different load directions and seismic effects. The video emphasizes resultant beams as analytical tools rather than physical members, useful for accumulating shear forces in structural elements.
