Hello,
I am having an issue with the loads being applied to steel beams in RAM SS. I am modeling a multi-story structure and on the 4th floor (not the top of the building), a simply supported beam with no other loads on it besides the uniform floor load, ends up with a triangular, very high dead load on it. I've checked the direction of the deck, any potential for loading from the floors above, the layout of the deck, and the options for turning deck/slab weight on/off. I've also deleted the uniform pressure on the 4th floor level and confirmed that the only load remaining on the beam in question is the self-weight.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what might have happened or things we can try to fix it?
Thank you!
