A prefabricated frame structure model does not converge

[dadadahe]

Dear STKO team,

I am performing a seismic time history analysis of a prefabricated frame structure.However, the model does not converge. I have been searching for a long time but haven't found the problem. If you could help me modify the model, I would greatly appreciate it.

I attach the model in case you need it. Thank you in advance for your support!

Hi dadadahe,

You didn't apply physical and element properties to a part of your model.

Then you applied EDOF only to two interactions, this is the reason for non-convergence.

Now it runs but stops at some point. Try to analyze your post processor and see why.

Let us know if you have trouble.

Best,
Valentina

Dear Valentina,

After your modification, my model can run normally, but the license of my computer expired today, and then I tried to open this model on another computer, but I met the problem as shown in the picture, may I ask how to solve this error?

Thank you very much for your help and wish you happy every day.

This error of using fibers is related to a limited version of STKO after license expiration. If on another computer you have an active license it should work fine.

Best,
Valentina
