    Hi Paras,

    Yes, this is possible. My recommendation would be to start with an Area Load Panel, specify your area load members, span directions, and then you can modify the panel to be a rigid diaphragm panel, which will retain all the area load information, but change the stiffness to behave as a rigid diaphragm in plane of the panel.

    Please let us know if this works for you.
