In the attached model, i have assigned the Rod Bracing as "Tension Member". But it fails in compression. What is the reason & what is the solution, please clarify.2. JB_053_20_B01_Tyre Curing Press Bldg._R00 (Meghna Innova Rubber Co. Ltd.)(Proposed Bracing).zip

Thanks a lot for your link. But i have not got yet my answer. I have ignored slenderness check in my model, and i have also given the load as Repeat load, in spite of that, it fails in compression. A picture is attached herewith for your review. Staad Model was also attached previously.
