RE: Warning - This structure is disjointed - Staad Pro Connect

Hi Abhisek,

Thank you for your reply! Please help me properly connect my plates to my beams/columns. I have been struggling with this for a month now. Can it simply not be done with my model? All I want to do is properly mesh nodes 25-37-39-27 & 26-41-43-36.

You can use the multiple structure option as shown in below link to find out where the issue lies.

Here, the model is having 3 independent structures.

The main reason is the lack of beam plate connectivity. If you have plates, beams/columns and beam ends in a same plane then you should match the beam ends with plate corner nodes. Here, this is not happening. So, you need to establish proper connectivity between beams/columns and plates.
