Bar Uniform Load Button Greyed Out

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have this odd problem: once I've created a model involving bar elements and I try applying uniform bar load to some of them, the uniform load button looks greyed out, so that I cannot apply any uniform loads. Please have a look at the screenshot and the file as well.

Even if I send the file to a colleague of mine he cannot apply uniform loads to bars as well.

INSTEAD if my colleague recreates the same geometry and load conditions, he can apply bar uniform loads. Also, if I try to open the file he generated, I can apply bar uniform loads as well (i.e. my bar uniform load doesn't look greyed out anymore).

I have a fully licensed Robot copy, whereas my colleague has a trial version. He installed his from the CD we received together with the license, whereas I downloaded the trial version from the web and then activated it by intrpducing the activation code we received with the cd. May this make any difference?

Please find attached the file I created and that is not working, under the name "GreyOut", and also the file my colleague created and that instead is working, under the name "OK".

Hope you can find a solution,

Regards
