First of all, good day, when I threw the steel structure I modeled in idecad into sap2000, I saw that the lovers did not save it. Is it because of the tension rods?
Hello there; In order for the tension bar to function, enter the purlin properties in idecad and enter the appropriate value for the unsupported length ratio from the Design sub-tab. However, the problem may not be with the tension rod, but with your sap2000 analysis and steel design settings. Make sure you make the same adjustments in both programs. Good work.
