During the elastic analysis, you get the warning:

WARNING: Problem in Selfweight: equilibrium issues in the following direction(s): X; Y

[NL]: WARNING: Probleem in *naam van de combinatie*: probleem met het evenwicht in volgende richting(en): X; Y

[FR]: WARNING: Problème dans nom du combinaison*: problèmes d’équilibre dans le(s) direction(s) suivant(s): X; Y

[ES]: WARNING: Problema en *nombre de la combinación*: desequilibrio en las siguientes direciones: X; Y

Solution

The message means that Diamonds can’t find a way to transfer the loads throught the structure towards to supports taking all the boundary conditions into account. The solution lies in finding the cause. Depending on the direction, you can find a list of possible causes below.

Horizontal directions X and/or Z

• Verifiy that all elements are well connected.
• Verify that the supports are able to resist horizontal displacement when horizontal loading (like wind or seismic) is applied.

Vertical direction Y

• Replace soil layers with a spring.
• Remove the boundary condition ‘No tension’ from the supports.
• Remove the boundary condition ‘No tension’ from (masonry) walls.

If you can’t find the cause in this list, send your model (*.bsf-file) to support@buildsoft.eu.
