How to model steel plate shear walls?

Hello, 

I am modelling a MATCH (Modular Armored Tactical Combat House) house in RAM Structural System. The MATCH house has AR500 plates as the lateral load transfer walls. I do not see a way to model the plate elements. The wall icon turns inactive once I change the material to steel. Can you help me on this? Thank you,
