Hi guys,
I'm getting large (220kNm) moment in bracing!
It seems that the moment is coming from shear in the beam crossing almost mid brace;
Calculation nodes are being applied at the intersection of diagonal members which it should not be doing. Where members 492 and 493 intersect 106
The settings are not turned on to allow this. So it seems strange calculation nodes appear.
When I copy the 3 members to a sub-model and re-analyse, the problem goes away.
Can you guys explain why the forces are being transferred through calculation nodes that should not be there?
Model attached in private message.
Cheers,
Tony
