No axial force in truss

Hi, 
I have some trusses in my model and I have noticed, that their axial forces is very small (attached 2 screen-shots, one of them is view of truss and another one shows the axial force of bottom chord). It is a little bit strange, because the My is about 1800 kNm. Any reason, why the axial force is so small?

Thank in advance.

Delete rigid links (diaphragms ?) then check.

thank you very much for your answer. I did not know that diaghragms created rigid links, so as test, I deleted all of the rigid links that diaghragm created. After running the calculation, I checked the axial forces and they still are very small, but Robot has created the rigid links automatically once again . 
By the way, when I deleted the rigid links, I did not delete the nodes, that they create. When I ran the calculation, Robot give me a warning of "isolated nodes". But I do think, the isolated nodes will have any effect on the result.

Thats why I suggested to delete also diaphragms
