Incorrect Line Loads for Decoupled Lines

After the calculation, I get a message about large deformation. Why can I not find this deformation in the results?


Answer:

When you define line loads on a line that is decoupled from the entire structure, this line becomes semi-rigid. The program checks this incorrect entry and displays a message (Image 01). However, there are structures where this line is kept at a different point. In this case, the program continues with the calculation as soon as you confirm the message. However, since the deformation for such a decoupled line is very large, it is not displayed in the graphic output.

We generally recommend not loading lines that are decoupled using a line release or a line hinge.

The theoretical background is explained in this technical article.
