Master - Slave Specification X to slave node have different Y coordinates

Diego Bruciafreddo — Thu, 25 May 2023 09:17:58 GMT

Hi,

I'm running a simple structural model to understand the issue I'm facing in a bigger model with Master-slave specification in STAAD.

I defined a master node at elevation Y1 and slave nodes at elevation Y1 and Y2. After running the calculation the X displacements of the node at the elevation Y1 and Y2 are completely different even it is the same at the same elevation . Also, I'm not able to find out a possible relation within the X(Y1) and the X(Y2)

Could you please help to understand the result?
