Columns twisting

Anonymous — Tue, 02 Feb 2016 19:07:55 GMT

Hi guys, just a short question.

I have created a model with columns supporting thick slabs (1,5m) and i have few different floors.

After running just Selfweight LC and the looking at the deformed shape of columns seems like they are twisting.

See attached pics (one is undeformed others are deformed)

Its a nonlinear calculation. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

This is caused by the incorrect graphical display of deformation of vertical bar elements when you have a model where you have also panels and you switch on either exact deformation diagram and you switch of f display of structure or you activate deformation on on the Maps dialog. As you can see in the table the text values doesn't change.
