Why does my model return zero displacements?

[c.netoYXD2Z]

Ok, so I am modeling a slab + beams and applying a distributed load on the slab.

I defined the geometry and loads.

From my verifications, everything was defined properly at first.

I did not choose anything about the meshing of the slab, I believe that caused problems.

I am able to see the load applied on the slab, and I have the supports properly defined.

The analysis keep returning an isolated node that I cannot find and my displacements return all zeros even though there are no Errors.

This should be so simple but on Robot is such a fuzz to get it done.

How do I share my file? I really need some direction because I have been googling to find out what can the problem be and I havent gotten anywhere in hours.

thanks a lot!

I have a model that returns the results values finally. 

I believe the reason was because the mesh of the slab wasn't done (I thought it would be done automatically, no?)

anyway, i tried so much stuff that when it worked I dont even know what it was

After repairing missjunctions, unfreeze and choose a better meshing.

Your load is 150 kg/m² plus selfweight that not cause big values of displacements.

Your sections are oversized and not optimal

This is an existing structure, not a design.

I believe my model was returning zeros all over before because I didnt do a meshing of the slab because I thought the program would automatically define that.

Thanks.

hi @c.netoYXD2Z 

It is possible to set the default settings of your files by the preferences dialog box.

Best regards.
