Hi,
I'm using Robot to try to get the diagrams for a 2D strut and tie model. I'm only interested in the axial diagrams, i don't need the robot to give me deformations or nothing else. So i've define the model using as section a simple pipe, with very little diameter and a matheria without self weight.
This is my model, my supports are, a simple support in the top and double supports in the bottom. As it was supposed there is no reactions in the top support, but robot gives me 3 instability errors in 3 points. Does this affect the axial forces or just the displacements?
The other question i have is what is the check value and if the cause of that value being different than zero is because of the instability warnings.
Thank you! JPV
Check displacement first.
Either this structure should not be truss or every field should be made as trangle.
Additionaly you should use section with real properties
