Linear releases panel

Anonymous — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 14:58:52 GMT

I want a releas between two panel when I release on both edges I get an instablity warning.

If i only put a release on one side the other side will have a moment, how do i solve this problem?

How does linear releases work?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Putting a linear release on ONE side only should be enough to avoid out of plane bending continuity on the slab.

Are you looking at out of plane bending or in-plane bending of the slab?

According to the picture when I use one release the other side wil have a moment how do i solve that?

And i want no bending in de slab is that possible?

If possible ,zip and send the model telling which panels have the problem

Thx for your help

You must know that you cannot have to identical releases for all neighbor edges . At least one edge must be unreleased. See below an example.

Deleting all your linear releases and assigning a moment release to your bottom slab edges , the results will show zero moments at the slab edges
