Displacement Report error

[jlee4]

I have ran a file in Caesar and passed all code compliances. When I went back to check the displacements I noticed that several nodes had movements as high as -468056064 inches. Obviously this can't be right. These same nodes are anchored less than 30' away. Has anyone ever had this issue and if so what is the cause?

Code Compliance does not mean you have a good model &/or design. The input needs scrutiny, I would be surprised if this is a C2 issue.

Generally the displacements are a good indicator of whether the model was build correctly. However, if you've had the model checked and you find nothing wrong, send it over to tech support at coade.

This sounds like that node is on an element that experiences "rigid body motion". CAESAR II has no way of checking for this. If you can't find the problem, send the model to techsupport@coade.com.
