converge

Post by from tongji »

In my test, the gravity load is applied to a 6 story-2 bay frame first, then the static reversed load is applied. last, the point load is applied. the problem is when the point load is applied, it can't converge, whereas this problem didn't occur when the gravity load and the reversed load were applied. what should i do to make it converge?

just use the scripts from the examples manual on how to deal with non-convergence.
