**ERROR** JOINT NO. 0 NOT CONNECTED OR DUPLICATED.

Question

Hello Sir, 
 I am trying to do analysis of a multistorey structure and as I analyse the structure, Staad gives me error on **ERROR** JOINT NO. 0 NOT CONNECTED OR DUPLICATED. I checked if I have duplicated the joints at joint coordinates but it seems is all right. I also checked for members being dublicated by for joints but I didnt found any problem. 
 Can you please help me?? I cannot found what is the mistake or what is going wrong with it. 
 This is the input of the structure.

The problem is caused by the REPEAT commands. You may simply save this model from GUI. This will generate all the co-ordinates. Please refer to the attached model generated after saving the model from GUI.

Kris Sathia · Answer

Under the joint coordinates block of input, change all instances of 
 REPEAT 0 0 0 
 to 
 REPEAT ALL 0 0 0 
 Also, change the full releases to partial releases. So, commands like 
 START MZ MY MX 
 should be changed to 
 START MP 0.99 
 You also need to increase the size of members running along the global X and Z directions. An IPE100 is not sufficient for those large spans. I tried with a IPE300 and the displacements reduced by a factor of 300. 
 Attached is the modified file that I tested.
