Correct and they do, but not enough to be negligent unfortunately. It's hard to over look 30+ kip haha. I just went with doing a lot of different point load cases. Thank you for the help though!
I re-meshed the slab so the member with no material strength and with the moving load was lined up with the mesh. Still saw forces up to 36k. I tried one long member from end to end and also multiple one plate length members end to end. Relatively the same results between the two.
I tired that but still seems to be high numbers in the members. See attached. The member material is HR7. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=97194708-ee65-430f-af0a-4a61e4949055&file=Untitled.pdf
I have a large top slab of a large 75'x15' box that I am trying to apply a HS-25 loading using the moving pattern loads. But apparently it requires a member underneath the pattern to follow. Is there a way to apply them to nodes or plates? or maybe a member have zero (or very little) strength...
