huge deflection in truss structure
(OP)
hi all, i just learning SAP2000 to create simple bridge structure. I'm confused, why point 4 (showed in pictured) has huge displacement? Isn't it held by frame 1, 2, and 3? And how to model it so frame 1, 2, and 3 hold point 4? thanks :)

(only tension and compression).
Lastly, if you want to specifically work on bridge structures, I recommend using CSiBridge.

untuksignupsaja,
The problem is tha the joint is not connected. Give a Zoom in the joint, and you will see that that joint is not connected.
