Hello all, I have had some issues with LEAP steel pulling reactions when using Line Girder or Grillage analysis.
These are the Service I HL-93 support reactions when running a Line Girder analysis.
I am wondering if this is a glitch in LEAP Steel, as the Service I deflections are substantially higher using Line Girder or Grillage analysis compared to FEM, and the live load reactions output in what looks like binary code.
See FEM results below for comparison.
Could this be a file related issue or a glitch in the program? Versions of LEAP below.
Thank you
I tested this issue and these are my findings.
I tested this issue on Tutorial 1 example .
1) I Ran Line Girder Analysis , Grillage analysis and FEM analysis and in all the 3 cases i did not see the -1010 values in the Support Reaction table.
2) Then i tested the Live Load Deflection values report and i did not see any discrepancy in the report.
I would sugges you check this report.
