We have a problem where the moments over supports are showing higher results than that shown by other structural design packages, in this case Bentley RAM Concept V8i r5.0.2.
We have applied the "Global smoothing" as detailed here:
However, the moments over the supports are still higher than expected as the results show below.
Is there an explanation for this discrepancy?
Screenshots of the differences are below for reference:
Robot no global smoothing
RAM
Robot with global smoothing

The two screenshots are taken from the second floor over node 3000 in case 10, ULS. The increased moments over the support is not just happening locally over this support, but over all in the structure

We are unable to run the file due to errors in the model. Please could you post how you were able to get this result.

Hi Rafal!!
How tdid you possibly do this?? I mean producing the results to be same on bentley's RAM ConcePT?? Also, is this method acceptable to the structural engineering industry?

You should have asked this 2 months ago.
As far as I remember I claculated model and presented results.
Also, is this method acceptable to the structural engineering industry?
???????????
As far as I know the resposibility of the results is on the side who signs the calculations \ design. You can use any results you want \ have if you take responsinility of them. If there is a controlling office in your country it may not be that easy because you have to deliver calculations to them.
