Unable to run calculation of imperfection cases

Dear Dlubal Support Team,

I'm reaching you to ask about a problem that I encountered when defining/calculating imperfection cases in my model.

I have defined the imperfection cases floor by floor by using "Initial Sway via table" functionality.

When calculating the cases a few days ago initial sway was showing in the graphics as expected. Since then I have further developed the model. Today when trying to run the imperfection cases the solver won't proceed, not even beyond processing initial data. I also did an experiment by increasing element sizes significantly but it had no effect on the problem.

If imperfection cases are not active I am able to calculate the load cases and combinations and the results seem reasonable.

Software version: RFEM 6.11.0012

Hi Jarkko,

first of all: Welcome to our Dlubal Community! We're glad to have you here :smiley:

I had a look onto your model and can confirm the described program behaviour. Unfortunately, it also occurs in the current program version (6.14.0006). Hence, I forwarded the issue to our development team (Bug ID 662873). I'll get back at you, if I have an update on this.

Best regards
Clemens Gutmann
