Virtual Wall Stiffness

1-DEXHLY Mar 10, 2009 1:27 PM

Does someone know how to calculate the Stiffness of a Virtual Wall? On the manual there is written there should be an article in which is explained how to calculate the stiffness of the wall. I logged-in in the customer portal but I couldn't find it. Someone has it or knows where it is located? Thank you

  Does anyone know the stiffness of a virtual wall composed of wood or drywall?
  
  I know the stiffness would be dependant on the type of wood (oak, maple, cherry, etc.) or if a stud is located behind the dry wall. However, I am looking for typical values or a link to a resource that provides this information.
