slab mesh ignore column node !

Greetings 

after i calculated the model and checked deflection it became clear that some columns weren't  recognized as the support for slab above

 

i checked the column node coordinates and it is on the same plane as my slab , i deleted the mesh and re meshed it again but the problem persist

i selected the slab and from object inspector  tab i updated contour definition and then re meshed it again but the problem remain

Hi @me1205377

 

Try to use the detailed correction option with the correction to the horizontal plane with given Z coordinate and then mesh the panel again.

thank you for the fast reply  🙂 

i  did exactly the following  so please correct me if that was not what you advised me to do 

 

selected the slab >> Detailed structure correction >> selected "to plane"  >> defined  3 points having the same Z coordinates on my slab " i used other columns node which was connected to the slab successfully before and checked their coordinates " >> set the range to be "current selection" >> apply

 

deleted the mesh and re meshed again but didn't solve the problem

Hi @me1205377

All what you need to correct is the columns node at this level .then re mesh the slab.

the node is exactly in correct elevation , other columns with same node coordinate got meshed correctly but no this one

Hi @me1205377

Since the column Node is exactly at slab level .

You select the nearest node of the mesh to the column node then move it exactly to column node.

Then you select both of the 2 nodes and you go to edit then correct un check all options and put precision 0.005m then click apply .

The nodes will be merged in one node .
Make run to the model and everything will work well
