Strange Results UZ

[sgatzo]

Hello,
During my undregraduate disertation in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, I work on Educational RSA on a column loss case of steel building. Although my model seems to be rational as far as the rest of the results are concerned, the UZ displacement of the node (128) above the lost column  during non linear plastic analysis appears to be paradox. In detail the displacement for dead load case 1 (SW) are bigger than the respective for the G+0,3Q combination. I attach my file and photos of the results. What would  you propose to me?
Thank you in advance

PS: Only one beam has plastic properties (132)

It seems you have attached dxf file instead of rtd.

PLease attach robot file

My assumption is that you ignored the lack of convergence warning displayed in v.2011 and checked the results obtained for divergent non linear analysis which couldn't have been be correct. Please use v.2012 instead where the analysis converges.

I'm attaching the values from v.2012.

Hi. 
I have downloaded autodesk robot 2012 an still my non linear analysis does not converge even though it does in my partners pc wiht the exact same file.
