How to model infill wall material in stand pro for a building structure?
- Equivalent strut method will be efficient to model the infills..
- U can use the beam element with infill material properties..
- release the moments and torsion in the strut

Though it's not mainstream, you may find the artificial neural network technique useful for system identification in the infill panel area. Please see attached a relevant paper. Hoping you will find it interesting.
