I'm experiencing some stability issues which I can't figure out.
I have some shell elements supported by two columns with fixed supports in the bottom, (See Figure 1).
As the model is right now, there are no instability issues. However, I want to put in an element on which I can apply some load between the two columns. This element is connected by 4 points to the columns and 1 point to the roof.
When I attach a beam element to the column I get instability in the shell elements, (See Figure 2).
My mesh geometry is healthy and no incoherence is reported, so I'm at a loss here.
I have attached the model and I hope you will take a look at it .
Thank you very much.
Bonus question:
I have tried to use the "Reduction of forces above columns and wall" feature under the "Maps > Parameters", but it would seem this feature only works with vertical frame elements connected perfectly perpendicular to the shell element. Is this really true?
Initially I tried to use this feature, but I ended up connecting the frame and shell elements by rigid links, which I suspect is the root of my instability problem.
