Hi. I have a 14" CIP two-way slab modeled in RAM Structural. At column locations, the slab is 22" thick. When looking at 3D view, one area looks off. See below. I tried deleting the 22" deck assignment and remodeling it, but that did not help. Also, I am doing the exact thing at other column locations, but I don't see the same issues there. Any ideas what might be causing this?
Some support (column or wall) must have an elevation change leading to a slope problem. Please refer to: https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki/7207/ram-ss-3d-viewer-faq
Also note, deck edges should fall on beam or wall centerlines. https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki/21833/effects-of-changing-deck-type
