I want to use max/avg story displacement thatis shown in display tables and if it is more than 1.2 for response specturm case . I change the diaphram eccentricity for each floor by Ax valye * length of dipaghram perendicular to direction of force .

I am tackling this issue by using database table methods in API for etabs v 18 .
I used this function SapModel.DatabaseTables.GetAvailableTables() to return table keys which has 'Story Max Over Avg Displacements'

However , I cannot find a method in databasetables to display results in 'Story Max Over Avg Displacements' and then use it to check ratio if larger than 1.2
I can use it in another method to change diapgrahm eccentricity for each floor .

any suggestions ?

Thanks
