 no convergence of nonlinear problem 

Hello,

I have this 3D model which I doing an analysis for.
Before adding WIND2 (lateral) load case, I had no problems with the calculations. However, when WIND2
loads were added, I received the analysis warning/error "no convergence of nonlinear problem" . I am not
very familair with non-linear analysis so I do not really know what is going on.
Also, I have used tension only elements to act as cables. Is this correct?
Your help will be appreciated.

Re: no convergence of nonlinear problem

Thank you Rafal for the prompt reply.
May I ask why this problem occured only when lateral loads were added?
Also, it is correct to use tension only elements to act as cables in the model?

It depens on what simplification you can use creating model.

But if you are not concerned about results in "cables" - you can. 

Never thought about using tension element instead of cables when I need to design cables :) the calculation element
behind are the same : unidirectionnal stiffness and releases at the end ? There would be no problem when using P delta
analysis for example?

Re: no convergence of nonlinear problem 
Hello
I have the same problem with no convergence.

I know that the model has other errors because of the
nonsupported claddins on beams, but it gives some results
whitout a nonlinear support (uplift).
The model is attached here
http://www.filedropper.com/model
I tried also to put the rest of the loads to be auxiliary.

First of all I would start with correcting model
1. Walls should be connected with other walls or slabs - see panels 7594to7597 7627to7630 
and walls starting with panels 8266 8267 8269
2. Claddings are not the slabs so I guess you should use ordinary panels or diaphragms
3. Bars not connected with model, see nodes : 783 784 810 811 23403 23404
4. Mesh model properly without kinematic links

Hi Rafal,
Thanks for the answer I'll try to correct what you said . Isn't possible also wall to sit on beams only.
Because this is the case that I have. I missed some beams in this big model
but I'll add them now.

Milko

Hello again,
I've changed all the claddings to be slab 30cm in concrete.

I repaired also the errors. And stil it doesn't calculate with the uplift.
Also I'm trying to export it to Revit and after 3 hours thinking(aproximately)
It gives "Unknown runtime error". I saw in the other forums that this
could happened under windows 10, but this is not the case. I have win 8.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the model ,
For the time being I use Revit 2015 but we also succeeded meanwhile.
I found that the error was on level GMH only. And yes - repaced some of the sections there with different and succeeded.
Also some of the reversed T-s e ct ion s we re d e fin e d a s a colu m n s e ct ion s a n d t h e n u s e d a s b e a m s e ct io n s

(just a lazyness not to change local axes later - don't kill me ). I thought this causes errors but we
found that this don't return errors.

Milko
