Hi, I get the following error when running analysis in Steel Beam module:"Illegal framing configuration detected on beam -1". The error is caused at the wall.
Several things are happening in the area in question. It is inside corner of the building where the basement wall turns the corner. Also, there is an expansion joint at each end of the wall. See screenshot below.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello Haseeb,
Seems like some reframing is needed. If you could attach your model here or to Secure File Upload so I can advice.
File "Ronk.zip" has been uploaded.
You have the slab edge of the wall assigned offset from the wall. I would recommend to use the slab overhang instead, and re assign the other slab edges that connect to this one to make sure a proper connection.
Please also check RAM SS Common Framing Tables Wiki.
I placed beams parallel to the wall and offset the edge of slab from those beams, but the error has not gone away.
Hello VAEngr,
The problem here is in the slab edges. They help you distribute the loads, therefore, they need to be modeled over a beam or a wall. The slab edge that you have here is not directly assigned over the wall, so instead of doing that use the overhang tool. Also for this same slab edge, it is not over all the wall element and this will cause the Illegal framing error message.
Try using the slab edge over whole perimeter and then assign other slabs on top using the change priority.
