Inherent Torsion per ASCE 7-16 with ideCAD

How ideCAD defines inherent torsion according to ASCE 7-16?

For rigid diaphragms, lateral force distribution at each level is considered the effect of the inherent torsional moment, M_t, resulting from eccentricity between the locations of the center of mass and the center of rigidity. For semi-rigid diaphragms, the distribution of forces to the vertical elements should be accounted, including the locations of the distributed masses.

If a rigid diaphragm is chosen in the analytical model, the mass tributary to that floor or roof is modeled as a lumped mass located at the resultant location on the floor or roof (the center of mass). This point represents the resultant of the inertial forces on the floor. This diaphragm model simplifies structural analysis by reducing what would be many degrees of freedom in the two principal directions of a structure to three degrees of freedom (two horizontal and one rotational about the vertical axis).

This inherent torsion is automatically included when performing a three-dimensional analysis using either a rigid or semirigid diaphragm. Suppose a two-dimensional planar analysis is used, where permitted. In that case, each story's center of rigidity and center of mass must be determined explicitly, and the applied seismic forces must be adjusted accordingly.

For structures with flexible diaphragms (as defined in Section 12.3), vertical elements of the seismic force-resisting system are assumed to resist inertial forces from the mass that is tributary to the elements with no explicitly computed torsion. No diaphragm is perfectly flexible; therefore, some torsional forces develop even when they are neglected.
