Columns keep rotating after analysis

[hassanhazif]

Hi,

I am very new to Robot Structural Analysis.

I had modeled my structure, applied loading and pressed the calculations button. When I observe the columns, it appears to have rotated on its axis. Both the joints of the column are acting like it is free to rotate about the x-y axis. is there any way to correct this?

I have tried changing the base supports to fixed supports, but that did not work either.

Dear @hassanhazif,

i think that this is only graphics imperfections. There are two nodes for beam (start-end) and there is no node for beam orientation in deformed shape for solid view. This is a program principle.

Check Mx results for columns. If there is no torsion moment, then there is no rotation.
