Story weight

[medo]

Run calculations.

Nope. The columns are still outside stories.
If any help, I am using Robot Millennium ver. 20.1. I tried this on ARSA 2010, it works. Am I missing some setting when generating finite element mesh?

Ok, now it worked. I don't know what happened, maybe the program needed restarting.
Only one more thing. Why vertical panels are not colored like horizontal ones that belong to a story? I see some gray colors for the FEs, and appropriate color for the lines defining the FEs. Does it mean that everything is Ok now?

[Gazes]

It looks OK now.
Your vertical panels don't belong to a story (that's because their bottom is on the different story than top) and they aren't filled with story color but remain gray. Finite elements of these vertical panels are correctly assigned to stories and only their edges are visualized with story color.

Great. I am on a good way now

When calculating story weight, the program calculates only self-weight of the structural members. Why it does not include the weight of additional 'dead' load or 'live load' in the Story Table Results from other load cases?
Instead, for each load case in results table, the program displays the same values as for self-weight.
I need to have total weight of one story with all load cases included.

medo, what would you do with nonstructural walls mass?

Did you tried analysis>analysis type>load to mass conversion?

Did you tried analysis>analysis type>load to mass conversion?

Yes I did that, but nothing is changed. Look at the attached figure. Load 1 is self-weight, Load 2 is dead load=6 kN/m2, load 3 is live load=3.50 kN/m2 and 2.0 kN/m2 on roof level.

What is the story area?

Hey, I think the fastest solution is to upload the structural model file here and we can look and give you a more accurate answer.

This is the example file.
