Hi guys, I have a problem. I am using master/slave command to model expansion joints. I have multiple joints in the structure, however only one is not behaving normaly. Master/slave command is used to restrict movement in FX and FY.
Master slave command working properly:
Master slave not working properly:
Both are coded the same way in STAAD. What is causing the difference? I have over 400 master/slave commands, is that the limitation? Thanks for the help. Below are the full STAAD code and the master slave code only.

You have used FX and FY direction as master/slave connections. This means that the displacement in lateral X direction and vertical Y direction between each master node and slave node will be the same. Are you getting different displacements between each master and slave node in X or Y direction? In general, the model is not symmetrical, so I think it is expected that displaced shape at different parts of the structure is different.
I do have different displacements in X and Y (see image below). The whole 7th expansion joint (node 31793 to 31792) is not working properly.
This is despite being coded the very same way as the others.
A slight variation in displacements between the master and slave nodes is expected as displacements at slave nodes are equal to the displacement of the master node plus a rigid rotation. This is mentioned in STAAD.Pro Help section Technical Reference of STAAD Commands > TR.28 Rigid Diaphragm Modeling > TR.28.1 Master/Slave Specification.
Agreed, but how come other master/slave isn't behaving the same way for all the expansion joints? See below working/not working. It's the same code.
How can the same code make results so different? Also note, FZ is supposed to be free, yet distance between master and slave nodes are constant (meaning FZ is rigid).
