Hi guys,

I am currently analysing a combined model of 2 towers, tower 1(43 stories)& tower 2 (36 stories), a 6 level podium and 4 basement. In the analysis log which is currently being updated real-time and at about 2hrs42mins into the analysis, I noticed that the relative unbalance is curently at 9976. I have a few questions. Does the relative unbalance tell how long the analysis is going to take? If yes then is that the usual relative unbalance for a model of that size?

Additional info to help with this problem

I have to also add that a previous model of which the analysis took slightly more than 2 hrs to complete, magically had the diaphgram centre of gravity (red dot usually at the centre of gravity of the slab), out of the slab and in mid-air. I discovered this diapghram error only after the analysis completed. Also, this occured for the taller of the two towers which is tower 1.
