✅ Problem with frame analysis: both columns in compression under horizontal load
Posted: 19 Jul 2025, 20:26
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with the static analysis of this frame. As you can see, there is only one horizontal load applied to the frame, and based on that, one of the columns should be in compression and the other in tension. But in my results, both columns are in compression, and the vertical force equilibrium is not satisfied.
Could someone please explain why this problem is happening?
