Warnings in output of Staad Pro
Two warnings : 1. Inst Instab abiility lity 2. Ze Zero ro Stif Stiffn fnes ess. s. 1.0 Instability Warnings: Warnings : Truss member: Defining a member as a TRUSS member when it needs to carry Shear and oment. !e.g" In the truss #oint$ %ertical member will transmit shear forces to the hori&ontal members. If the members are s'ecified as TRUSS elements$ then they cannot carry shear forces and hence will re'ort instability as the load from the %ertical members cannot go through the hori&ontal members. To eliminate this 'roblem$ instead of s'ecifying TRUSS elements$ you s'ecify them as a member with 'artial moment release o'tion. Use member Release s'ecification with 'artial release of (.)) instead of TRUSS s'ecification. Im'ro'er Su''orts: *or e+am'le in a single storey bay ,ortal frame$ if both the su''orts are rollers$ then the frame is instable and hence you will get instability message. -ou must mae one su''ort to be 'inned. Stiffness: /onnecting %ery stiff member with a %ery wea member will gi%e instability. This is due to large %ariation in stiffness of ad#acent members which maes the matri+ in%ersion to re'ort instability. -ou need to ad#ust the I for both the members to eliminate this error. Du'lication: Du'lication nodes at #oint$ o%erla''ing elements$ ,lates will lead to instability. -ou need to go to Tools
/hec
facilities to detect and eliminate these issues.
There are two checs that you can do to %erify the correctness of results with instability messages. *irst you can study the static chec results. The a''lied loading and su''ort reactions should cancel each other for e0uilibrium. If not$ there is some 'roblemms in the model.
Second is the #oint dis'lacement chec. If you notice e+cessi%e dis'lacement at a node there may be instability at that node. -ou can %iew the instability in 'ost 'rocessing mode. o to odes tab in ,ost 'rocessing and you will see the instability sub tab if there is instability in the mode. /lic this sub tab to %iew the details in table.
2.(
Zero Stiffness: Stiffness :
The warning will will a''ear when you ha%e a structure structure in which there is no stiffness in a 'articular degree of freedom. 3hile assembling global stiffness matri+ if the stiffness in an acti%e degree of freedom is &ero$ then the structure is considered unable to resist load acting along that degree of freedom. This is re'orted as &ero stiffness messages. This message can be used to in%estigate the cause of instability of the model. The &ero stiffness messages can indicate whether any of the degree of freedom obstructs the load transmission to the su''orts. Zero stiffness can ha''en in many situations. *or !e.g" a frame with truss members meeting at a #oint a shear and moment and hence no relational stiffness offered at the #oint. This will gi%e &ero stiffness warning. 3e can use ember Reease o'tion instead of truss o'tions. 4nother !e.g" a 'ost held by cables which are 'inned at their base will get warnings for rotational degree of freedom at the cable su''orts. 3e ha%e to use 'artial moment release at one end of cable su''orts to eliminate the message.
