Hi,
I have noticed significant difference between support loads for the same point and the same load case, but once with modelled beams and once without.The values are as follow:1)modelled beams:
2)without beams. support connected to "ground"
I am trying to undestand if those values are correct. Modelling beams have really such impact like this? Someone could explain this ? or indicate any mistakes i have done ?Thank you in advance ;)
Good day to you Krystian,
Upon further investigation I agree with your previous observations that output results are different when attaching pipe supports to a beam system. This appears to be correct as the beam system is not truly rigid. Therefore a portion of the weight is being supported by the piping system which shows up in the output report GR load case.
