Point Load Error

[yjeong]

Hi,

I am a architecture student. I start learning Sofistik software. It is very honor for me to have a great opportunity to use this. My goal is to master this software.

I was watching a tutorial, and was trying to put the point load on the beam but It keep causing an error.

Another question I would like to ask is…

I was trying to read the CADINP pdf file, but it’s showing almost empty.

There are lines of tables but there are no words in it.

Is there any link I can read CADINP pdf file? I searched it on the google, and I found something similar

but It’s very old pdf version.

Thank you so much!

Hello Yong

Thank you for joining our community.
You can open all of the manuals directly within the SSD or the TEDDY:

SSD / TEDDY > Help > User Manuals > All Manuals…

In some cases the CADINP pdf file (F1) is not working correctly. This is often caused by an outdated graphic card driver. Please have a look at the related post:

Darstellungsfehler / Display Error SSD 2020

Liebe Softwareanwender:innen, mit der aktuellen SOFiSTiK Version 2020 kann es regelmäßig zu Problemen auf Rechnern mit einer dedizierten und einer integrierten Grafikkarten kommen. Diese Darstellungsfehler äußern sich darin, dass die einzelnen Fenster des SSDs nicht korrekt angeordnet werden, oder Teile davon geschwärzt sind. Die Probleme lassen sich jedoch relativ leicht beheben. Wie Sie dabei vorgehen müssen und worauf Sie achten müssen, haben wir in einer übersichtlichen Anleitung zusammen…

Now to your first question.
Please open the report browser and look at the warning message. Without knowing the message I can’t give you a direct solution. But it seams like you haven’t defined an action (ACT) for the load case.
For example:

+PROG SOFiLOAD
HEAD
ACT G
LC 1
POIN auto TYPE pzz -2 X 2.81119 0.60941 10.00
