Hi all
in the attached model, it has been split into several boundaries within a outer boundary (this was done as the depth is different for each boundary.
while using Parametric mesh and creating the adjacent boundary mesh, it was found that the new plates were connected at the middle of the old plates i.e. it creates 5th node in the old plates. This results in error when checking for improperly connected plates
How to overcome this problem?
Please help me this is a realtime project.
i have attached the staad file and a paint file showing the prblem.
parametric mesh were created using dividing size 0.5
Thanks in advance
Thanks Modestas, i have completed the meshing and have a query now kindly find my new topic in the attached url
http://communities.bentley.com/products/structural/structural_analysis___design/f/5932/p/90116/256930.aspx#256930
does this create any problem in analysis or it cant be done in staad?
( i want the top surface of the plates to be flat, is it possible)
and if i want to live load on it then, what is the procedure?
