I have an issue with one of my models whereby when I add cladding panels to the structure, the reactions from a single load type reduce (by about 7%).
Can you please explain the cause and if there is a way to rectify this problem?
The panels also do not distribute its own load in a uniform manner (i.e. they are set to one way distribution but the distribtuion regions are irregular).
Thanks.
Please find link attached.
workaround : all edge loads on edges on\over the claddings edges should be replaced by Linear Load 2p
