Sabrina,

I am using infrmDB elements, so I guess no further action required.

Thanks a lot for your answer.

I need to reduce the number of integration points on the frame elements to get convergence. However, I could't find where to change this setting (even after reading the help files).<br/>
<br/>
Can anyone tell me how to change the number of integration sections?<br/>
<br/>
Thanks ...

Ricardo,

Thanks you for your inputs here. I agree with you, it is most likely a graphical issue.

Bye

<t>Hi Ricardo.<br/>
<br/>
I am also using 5.0.5 build 10. I double checked and still get the same problem.<br/>
<br/>
One way to visualise the problem is to create two elements each with sections of the same diameter: one circular holow section (CHS) and one reinforced concrete circular hollow ...

<t>Hi guys.<br/>
<br/>
I have been using the hollow section (chs). While the dialog input box asks for the "diameter" of the section, it appears that what is plotted in the graphical interface takes that value as the radius, and therefore, the plotted section is much larger than it should be.<br ...

<t>Further to my previous question, I perform a quick static analysis to determine the vertical reaction (weight) of a reinforced circular hollow section. <br/>
<br/>
The results from the program do not correspond to the hand calcs. The same problem was found with reinforced rectangular hollow ...

<t>Hi,<br/>
<br/>
I am using a circular hollow section. In the definition of the section the program asks for internal and external DIAMETERS.<br/>
<br/>
However, when looking at the graphocal interfase, the plotted cross section is twice the input diameters. Aparently, the program is mixing ...
