I have a problem with some instabilities (type 2) in a design of an industrial shed. More spesicifally, when I use the "Calculations" button, a type 2 instability appear for each truss beam in the shed (there are totally 13 truss beams). I have attached a design of this shed with only 2 truss beams. If I change some bar releases from pinned to fixed, there are no instabilities, but I can't understand why, since it seems to me that there is no mechanism in the structure.
I need some help..

Apply such release to posts 7to13 43to49 to correct model :
I would like to thank you for your help, but I would appreciate an explanation about the instability that occured. I can't understand why there was any instability, since the nodes that appeared to have problem, were located on a rigid bar, and not at the ends of it.
Thanks again for your time
