curtain wall to RSA

how does curtain walls or panels including mullions behave in structure if it will be exported to RSA

[pawelp]

As for curtain walls, we transfer them to RSA with respect to Mullions being a member based supporting structure in RSA, and curtain panels being Panels objects

Three methods are proposed:
· Analytical model only (no system panels, no mullions) – models a curtain wall as a single panel (mullions are ignored during the transfer; differences in individual system panels are also ignored)
· Analytical model and mullions (no system panels) - models a curtain wall as a single panel (differences in individual system panels are ignored) with an arrangement of mullions
· System panels and mullions (detailed model) - models a curtain wall as a system of panels (differences in individual system panels are taken into account) with an arrangement of mullions.

ok I saw that choices in revit extensions when exporting it does it generate dead load for the analysis?
