Correcting the previous answer. Using rigid links (restraing type x+y)in all areas of overlap the solution converges and I'm the pushover curve. With rigid diaphragms instead I can not find the solution. If I can help you understand.Many thanks

I tried to run the analysis with both options, but I have problems of convergence of the solution. I do not know why

Ok, so I can leave everything as is. That's okay?
Why can not constrain the master nodes in the vertical direction.
Many thanks

<t>I found this sentence in the forum:"Upon start of the analysis, users may be presented with a warning message regarding 'Zero diagonal terms encountered in a give node'. This means that such node is fully unrestrained in the degrees-of-freedom indicated (i.e. the node is not connected to an ...

<t>If I want to apply the load in the center of gravity of masses (CM), what should I do? It's properly insert a structural node and connect it with the bond rigid diaphragm to the 4 corner nodes of the field of floor where there is the CM Or should I use the rigid link? For other field of the floor ...

Many thanks Seismosoft, it solved it.

Hi, yes I tried but I could not find anything.

No because I have bound only end nodes. My structures consists of 20 fields of the floor. Until a 10 the solution converges. By placing more than 10 fields of the floor is not the solution converges.

<t>I have a floor area of 4 beams perimeter divided into 4 sections. I put in a master node in the center of the floor and I hooked up with the 4 corner nodes with rigid diaphragm. When I run static analysis and eigenvalue analysis I get the following message:"Zero diagonal terms encountered at the ...

<t>I have a concrete structure with two floors.I split beams and pillars on each of 4 elements and applied vertical loads. The floor it's modeled with rigid diaphragm .When run the static analysis gives me problems of convergence, the solution does not converges.If remove the rigid diaphragm the ...
