Convergence Problem During Cyclic Pushover Analysis

Post by romaniitd »

Hi friends ,
I have a model of single story RC frame using pingching4 and concrete02 material. Structure considering only 4 nodes runs perfectly and results are ok.
After this analysis, I put some extra node on column and beam member without changing any materials and elements, while running the analysis It shows that convergence failed. So pleased help me how to make continuity on nodes.

if you just add nodes you have to constrain them using either the fix or equalDOF command.
