Truss instability

Hi.

 

I have building with roof trusses. When using element type truss I get a lot of instabilities in my model. I tried to save a substructure and make some of the instabilities go away but I can't fix it. See attached model and picture.

 

Thanks in advance!

I haven't spend many time no your model but it seems it is due to the fact tht bar 146 and 147 are truss bars. If you set it as normal bar + one support at the roof top node (Ux blocked) to prevent from global rotation, it runs.

 

Other way to do it : get rid of your truss bar and make a Ry release on the diagonals, same effect, no instabilities and no non linear model due to truss bars
