Warning: The load has not been distributed correctly

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am getting this warning due to cladding panels I have applied horizontal loads to. I have looked at other posts and the advice and I do not have any empty load cases and I have bars or panels attached to all cladding panels. The load appears to be correctly distributed. Can I ignore this warning?

The load looks correctly distributed:

Thanks,

Rosie

At the first glance I can't see any issue with the load distribution but you may want to assign the load to each of the walls as a separate load case and then compare sum of applied loads in the reactions table with the area of the wall * load value.

Hi

I think that the reason of appearing this message due to the use of (Linear load on edges –SIDL case) for walls which are adjoining to the claddings.

Thank you Reefat.

What is the best way to apply loading to an edge to avoid getting this error? Should I create dummy beams?

Thanks,

Hi again Reefat, 

I am getting the same error message on another model I am working on, this model does not have cladding panels and I have not defined any linear loads on the panels. Do you know why this is?

Hi

I think in such case when you want to apply edge loads on the walls and those walls adjoining with cladding then you may create (dummy beams) but attention to ignore its self-weight .

Concerning your second model, Please take a look to the attached capture.
