I've modeled one structure with cantilever rafter while another model without it (refer to the image below) With cantilever Without cantilever When it comes to deflection check, cantilever rafter failed on deflection while the rafter without cantilever passed the check. Hope anyone here can explain the reason behind it.. Thanks0804 (Cantilever Rafter).STD0804 (Without cantilever rafter).STD
Thank you very much
For the cantilever parts you should use CAN 1 parameter which instructs the program to calculate defection considering cantilever arrangement.
