Thank you. I appreciate the insight in how the program runs. One of the members will be tension only when installed. In all honesty, we put the X in due to the frames being installed upside down regardless of our instructions.
I am new to Risa and have run in to an issue with how to model a specific type of joint. We build a frame that has solid support rods that form an X inside the frame. Currently I am modeling them as separate beam elements with nodes at each end. In production, we do weld the rods together...
