I have modeled a sloped roof with plates. I have noticed that when looking at the stresses, the plates appear to be removing compression force from the top chord of the trusses below. I have selected the "plane Stress" option so the plates shouldn't do this (or that's how I understand it).
I want the plates to act as a diaphragm only and not interfere with compression force in the top chord of the member below. I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem and how they fixed it.
Thanks in advance
