No convergence of nonlinear problem! Very Simple model

[Anonymous]

Hey

My first and very simple 2D Frame in ROBOT. 

I get the No convergence of nonlinear problem error when analysis. It is part of my 2. semester project. All is calculated by hand, and i am just trying to see if i can get the same, or just about, results in ROBOT.

The model is attached.

Regards

Sune

Do you really need to use a cable element for the diagonals , or just a "tension only" bar?

Thanks. I never would have figured that out. Fast and sweet support 🙂

[Anonymous]

Rafacascudo i guess that would do just as well. Can you point me in the direction as to where i select "tension only" for my diagonal bar?

[Rafacascudo]

define as a standard bar element and ...

Thx. Its a steep learning curve. Day 1 with robot 🙂 Your help is much appreciated!

Although ,after 15 years (v13.5) of practice and still learning, it´s Not so steep! Maybe the easiest one to learn and operate by far!!

Then perhaps you can give me pointers as to how i make my results simple and slick. As for now, we need to compared out hand calculations / dimensioning with a ROBOT analysis.
i would like to get a detailed result for bar nr.4. I will post a result of my best shot so far

Or for a single bar this is what i can do

[Rafacascudo · Accepted solution]

select the bar you want the results  ,then click on menu results/Detailed analysis...

or you can have it also through tables . Right click anywhere / tables.../Forces

and if you need more information in your tables , right click anywhere on table area and click on table columns

I will give it a try after i get some sleep. Thanks Raf
