  • In your model you have introduced master slave specifications. All the master nodes are not connected to the structure. The diaphragm you used is in X-Z plane. As a result there is no restraints for those vertical nodes in vertical direction. Due to this reason so much "Zero Stiffness" warnings are shown by the program. If you use a rigid type of diaphragm instead of X-Z , the warnings will not be there.
