I have a large steel frame structrue made up of simple construction, therefore I want to model the connection of the primary beams to the columns with the appropriate offset to the column flanges in order to transfer the additional moment to the column.
I also want to use tension only X-bracing.
I have defined the offsets for my primary beams (of which there are many) and now I have placed all my X-bracing members in the structure (without any relases)
I now apply truss bar parameters, tension only, to all of my X-bracing.
I run the model and get prompted to turn on the DSC algorithm, so I do
I then run and get an error saying that the DSC algorithm is on and that I have offsets ?
What is the procedure now?
Do i have to go back and delete all offsets and replace with rigid links? And then, if i am changing column sizes, will the offsets(rigid links) change also?
