I have designed the shear walls using General reinforcing method by defining pier sections in the section designer. I create the report and tick all the shear wall design options in the report (e.g., Preferences, overwrites, summary results, and calculation). However, there isn’t any information of the section of walls which I used them in the design in the report. I need the data of Shear Wall Pier sections in the report. Can you please help me how to add the pier sections Property (geometry and bars) to the report or get the presentable out puts of the pier sections properties (geometry and bars) which I used for the shear wall design.

To add the pier sections Property (geometry and bars) to the ETABS report or obtain presentable outputs of the pier sections properties used in shear wall design, you may need to modify the report settings or utilize additional features/tools within the ETABS program. Since the specific steps may vary depending on the version of ETABS you are using, it is recommended to refer to the program's official documentation, user guides, or reach out to technical support for detailed instructions on how to include the desired information in the report.
This error message appears when ETABS is trying to solve a model that is too complex or has too many degrees of freedom. Try reducing the complexity of the model or using different analysis options. You can also contact technical support for further assistance.
When I checked my model, there was no warning message, but when it starts the analysis there were a lot of warning such as WARNING THE SOLUTION LOST 7.9 DIGITS OF ACCURACY FOR DOF UZ OF JOINT 11484 LOCATED AT X = 1414.000, Y = 698.444444, Z = 1056.000, STIFFNESS MATRIX DIAGONAL VALUE = 2.6116E+10
Why is this happening? After this, when it's time for design, then the result shows almost all beam and column are over stressed and failed. How can I correct my model? What kind of prevention should be taken to avoid this problem?

This is one of the issues that are usually more common on the local PCs where users have CSI Etabs installed. I've searched the web for this particular problem and couldn't find anything available, therefore the only thing I recommend doing is to consult the user guide available for download.
However, when the error happens, the software will also specify the location where the problem originates. You should use those numbers to change the numbers and model accordingly.
I have the records of acceleration in some points of a foundation of a building. To design it I need to put a slab (with a rigid diaphragm) with area springs (for the soil-structure interaction). But, when I display the results I get a bigger acceleration in the points that I am applying my input. It looks like the springs are distorting the seismic ground motion, as if it was applied to the bottom of them. How should I apply my acceleration record directly to the slab but maintaining the springs?

The developers of the application offer users the possibility to learn how the application works with examples through video tutorials. There is a page on their website called Watch and Learn where you have the possibility to watch various procedures related to the way the software works. Since there is no data for your request, use the videos to learn how to work with it.
Good morning, I would ask you if it's possible to realize the vertical tendons into the concrete walls on ETABS. Also how? Or are there other ways to realize this kind of patterns? As with temperature loads, or some way.
Thanks!

I don't think there is a guide available for your inquiry, therefore I've linked a page below that will lead you to the tutorials page provided by the developers. Access the link and you should find the tutorials about the way the software works and the procedures contained.

Hello
Good time
Please tell me which ETABS 2016 tool we should use to assign soil profiles and isolated column footing defined in ETABS 2016
The tool to assign soil profiles and isolated column footing defined in ETABS 2016 is the "Soil Profile" tool.
