I want to use the Master/slave command to model a rigid diaphragm in STAAD.Pro 2001. The problem is two columns separated by 40 ft. One column goes from joints 1 to 2 and the second column goes from joints 3 to 4. I wish to have a rigid link between joint 2 and joint 4. The program gives an error of multiple structures. What additional connections do I have to do to tie these joints together?
You may ignore the multiple structures/disjointed structures warnings if the two columns are connected through master/slave specifications. The software mentions that as part of the warnings itself.
Master/Slave nodes are now labeled as Control/Dependent nodes in STAAD.Pro CONNECT Editions (22.xx.xx.xx)
