Hi!
I am having some issues.
I assigned a "plate mat" support to a foundation, and i activated the "compression only" option.
I made sure that i am defining the combinations with de "repeat load" command.
And i am still getting tension in some parts for the base pressure.
I only get tension in a piece of the central part of the foundation. And i get "0" in the blue part (that is correct) and compression values in the other part.
I already checked the assignment of the springs.
It is weird that another user with a different version of the program does not have this issue running this model.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
i realized that the problem is that for some combinations it doesn´t converge.
Is it possible that with Staad v8i it converges after 6 iterationes and with connect edition it doesn´t converge even setting "set iterlim" to 100???
