Hi, I have a series of sloped beams loaded with the same trapezoidal load showing snow drift but the global deflection value I get for each beam appears to be different. I don't think I should I be using local deflection in this case but I'm not sure. The local values are fairly close even though I'd expect them to be exactly the same.
Please I am not referring to the deflection check using DJ1 and DJ2 rather I'm referring to the actual member deflection. This is the deflection I'm referring to
Please assist. Thanks!
Please upload the STAAD file for investigation.
