loads on columns

[oliverkisera]

hello, i have a problem with how my loads get transferred down on columns, i have attached the model, i have some columns starting from level 1 to base level and if i check loads on the downer columns they seem to be so small than the columns on top of them, tell me whats wrong with my model, also if click on provided reinforcemnt to reinforce some columns am told unsatisfactory load capacity, am also told reinforcement percentage of 6.74% has exceeded 6%.  also if you check pic i have attched the supports seems to be appearing twice,

You seem to be having quite a bit of model issues that need to be fixed first before you get any valid results. This is what I get once I run the analysis for your model:

Other oddities I seem to have observed:

Floating/unconnected nodesmore floating nodes

How can i resolve the issues please. Does it mean its only due to the floating or idle nodes that are causing all those errors. I really need valid results. I will appreciate. How can i delete or solve the unused nodes. Can they be casing error called unsupported load capacity in columns. I would appreciate to know what errors can result due to bad nodes. Thanks in advance

As long as you can resolve the Errors/Warning in the "Calculation Messages" pop-up box, then your model should be fine. I would suggest tackling the errors/warnings one by one so you have better control over your project. Clicking on the messages will highlight the errors/warnings and you can then correct them in the model. Once you do one step at a time, hit the calculations icon and see if the same error message pops up. Currently the main issue in your model you should be concerned with is the model connectivity (i.e. nodes, beams, columns, walls, floors etc.). Once all of that is cleaned up, you will get better results.

Hi @oliverkisera

To correct model geometry try to use Edit > Detailed Correct:

Then select the nodes with excessive supports and delete these supports:
