Cladding Panels and lateral load distribution

Good morning,

 

I have tried to apply lateral wind loads to the panel as per the screen grab and RSA keeps returning the following errer ''The load has not been distributed correctly ''

I have input the panel node to node, that are at slab / wall and beam ends. The diagram does show that the load is distributed as expected, half height.

 

As always your help would be great!

 

Cheers

I have changed slab to rigid diaphragm, I presume that this was the cause of the error?

 

Conversely, my preference would be to retain the floor slabs as a FE shell, but with XY stiffening, so that the lateral loads are applied to the shearwalls, however this returns similiar error messages, plus instabilities.

 

To calculate the lateral loads to the foundation, I intend to make the floor slabs as rigid diaphragms, but does this result in a discrepeny of results?

 

Many thanks as always.

 

Cheers

That should be I intend to use the floors as shells with XY stiffening.

As far as I can see the sum of reactions for case 10 is correct meaning the load has been applied. In such case you can ignore the warning.

Thanks Arthur. Is there anyway to remove warning, or is just one of those things?!

 

Cheers
