NODAL LOAD IN CLADDING DISTRIBUTION LOAD?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

How is possible that I get some nodal loads when I show the automatically generated forces of a clad??

Supposedly the superficial load should only be distributed as linear loads in the supporting bars.

Thanks in advance

Here are some pics explaningin what happening

The reason is tiny inaccuracy in generation of tributary areas (see the attached picture) but if you compare value of the nodal force to the linear forces from the half of the adjoining bars you can see that it is 2e-5 of their values. What IMHO is more important is the fact that you probably wanted to define the values of loads in kG/m but having units of the model set as mm you applied them in kG/mm instead (don't the values of loads seem a little too big ?  )

If we divide the value of nodal forces by 1000*1000 they become 0s. 

Am I right?

Hi, It is just a quick example file, loads are arbitrary values. Is there a way to correct this?

Can't the nodal forces of 0 value be just ignored?

Is there a way to solve this distribution regions issue?
