Hello,
This is a 2-part question.
First: I have tried to set-up the direct analysis method in the attached model. I ran the model ASD and added in LRFD combinations at the end to use for the direct analysis. I put in the combinations with the appropriate load factors and the notional loads. I commented out the load cases w/ wind as I do not need to run notional loads with them. Can you check my methodology and let me know if I am running the direct analysis properly?
Second: The cases I run are divergent, it seems the main issue is in the roof bracing trusses but I can not figure out how to remedy the situation. Any suggestions or guidance is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
