Hi all,

Thanks in advance.
I have a problem in exporting data to a table from SAP2000. My structure is very simple and I am trying to export the joint reactions at two nodes for all time steps. It is giving the following problem and it is crashing. Please help me in this regard.
Thanks

Check over your modeling, ensure that the structure is stable, and that the total loads are in equilibrium with support reactions.

If everything else is running fine, then you probably gonna have to Reach out to SAP support and send them your model for a better answer, the error message is exceedingly vague.
 
This message pops up once in a blue moon for me.

Did it happen once, or repeatedly?

Are you syncing or streaming to a cloud? That seems to drastically increase the number of weird screwups in sap2000.
 
Hi,
It happened many times continuously.
I have rebooted the system, the problem was solved for certain number of time steps. But, still there is a problem when the number of time steps are more to write into an excel file and even to Access database file.

Thanks
 
This message probably means that there is something "corrupted" in the results you're trying to display or export.

You're trying to export the joint reaction at two joints for all time steps. That probably means there is something wrong with joint reactions. Maybe even with those two joints. But, it could still be with another joint.

There are a number of ways I might investigate this.
1) Run a static load case and export these joint reactions. If that works fine then you know it's with the time history analysis.
2) Run the first half of the time history only. If it exports properly, then you know the issue happens later on. For a small to mid sized model, you can repeat this until you know where your analysis goes bad.
3) If you can show a trace of the joint reactions for these joints, then you should do so. Does something look off with these results? If so, that could lead you to the issue.

Sorry, I can't be more helpful. But, these are just my thoughts off the top of my head.
