Different results between two models.

Ivan Juul — Wed, 19 Aug 2020 15:24:29 GMT

Hello, I am currently working on a building slab, I have modeled it with two different methods, one with all beams and plates objects and another with only beams using floor load command. The Y total loads are very similar, I assumed it as equals, but the distribution of the loads are very diferent, as the internal forces. The deformed shape and the Mz Diagrams are similar, same shape, but the absolute values are sensivelly different.. Why does it happen and wich model I should use?
I attach both models.
Thank you!

Membrane Thickness and Bending Thickness

Ivan Juul — Thu, 25 Jun 2020 23:38:48 GMT

Hello, I am making a model of a Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) structure and I would like to assign to the plates two different thickness, I mean, the effective thickness I calculated is used as the bending thickness (17,582 mm) and the sum of al plies is the membrane thickness.(8+8+8+8 = 32 mm). Is there any tool to assign this properties to a plate.

I attach the model so as I can explain what I want to do.

Cable Net Facade Analysis does not converge to a solution in non-linear Cable analysis.

Ivan Juul — Fri, 24 Apr 2020 21:43:35 GMT

Hi, I am currently designing a Cable Net Glass Facade with Cable Members, I gave them 15 kN of prestressing force and I have createad two Primary Loads, selfweigh and Wind. When I try to analyse the structure with the Simplified Newton Raphson Method the solution does not converge for Wind Load Case. I don't understand why this happen. If i make ONLY ONE Load Case Including Selftweigt and Wind the solution Converge satisfactory..

I attach the model here so as somebody can help me.
