Instabilities in Open Structure
Instabilities in Open Structure
(OP)
I keep getting instabilities. I have reviewed the Risa videos and attempted to manage the pin pin connections along with attempting to make the model sturdier with shorter on center spacing. Any help is appreciated. I can relieve one node but another just keeps coming up.

Also looks like you have no lateral load resisting system in the X direction. Are the roof beams supposed to have moment resisting connections?
RE: Instabilities in Open Structure
However, there is another more important instability. You have no lateral force resisting system in the global X direction. No moment frames, no braced frames. Hence the structure wants to flop over in that direction and you're getting a very real instability.

Thank you! I will update soon.
