Microstran V8
Microstran V8
(OP)
Im currently learning how to use microstran V8 software. Im plotting a fairly simple hexagon structure for analysis but get the error message "error, angle between AC and AB is too small". I read the manual but for the life of me cannot work out where the C is and hence which angle they are refering to. Anyone else come across this and what is the solution?

Im just playing around with a complex frame which I remember back in my University days (not an actual job!), which turns out to be a critical form structure (i.e. a mechanism for small displacements), so should have no solution ! (a simple hexagon pinned at the external nodes and diagonal internal bracing to all external nodes). Turns out that way after doing what you suggested.
Pardon my ignorance
But shouldn't the reference node/axis be in the default mode already ? and what was the specified node/axis before I made it the default axis anyway ?
Thanks !!
