Hola, esta la forma que utiliza el Etabs.
To evaluate the center of rigidity at a particular diaphragm, the structure is analyzed for three load cases. The loads are applied at the center of mass (or any arbitrary point). Load case 1 has a unit load applied in the global X direction and results in a diaphragm rotation of Rzx. Load case 2 has a unit load applied in the global Y direction and results in a diaphragm rotation of Rzy. Load case 3 has a unit moment applied about the global Z-axis, giving a diaphragm rotation of Rzz.
The center of rigidity relative to the center of mass (or the arbitrary point) is then given in by the coordinates (X, Y), where
X = -Rzy / Rzz and Y = Rzx / Rzz. This point is a function of the structural properties and is independent of any loading.
Saludos,
