Problem Description

The program does not distribute loads from deck areas to adjacent members. The analysis runs to completion and no error or warnings are generated during the analysis.

Reason

There are problems with the node that define the deck area. For example, there may be a duplicate node or an intermediate node along the member may be missing.

In previous versions, these input issues generated an error like the one shown below during the analysis and the analysis did not complete.

Solution

We are currently working on a fix for this problem. In the meantime, try resolving the problem by deleting and remodeling the deck areas. Otherwise, please submit a service request and send the model to the development team for review.
