Question:
Hi,
I did a simply supported grillage with application of beam element load. I am getting hogging moment at the support area where i believe it should only have sagging moment. I attached my model for your information. Can the support team check whats wrong with my model?
Regards,
Answer:
Hello,
The model that was sent to us wasn't simply supported. The support condition was modified for it to behave as simply supported. The results are then as good as a simply supported beam. Kindly let us know if further assistance would be required.
