Bizarre moment diagram in subdivided beam

Post by Pantelis_Kalderis »

Hi

I am working on a hinged r/c concrete frame, where I need to subdivide some of the beams in order to connect them to columns via diagonals.
After subdivided the beams (and prior to add the diagonals) I ran an D-T-H analysis and although there was not a convergence issue I noticed that the moment diagrams of these beams were not as expected (see in the picture below the left beams' diagram contrary to the similar un-subdivided beams). Beams are hinged (M2) only at their connections with columns and not at the middle of span. Have you any idea of why does this happen?

Although we could not view the image for some reason, could it be that this is caused by the presence (or absence) of stress-recovery? (Program Settings>Elements>Carry out Stress-Recovery?
