Hello

I'm trying to model a propped embedded wall and I'm running into an issue: whenever I try to delete the beam elements that are modeling the props (to simulate the construction phase of their their removal) the program issues an error "Structural element ID does not exist". Is there a workaround or isn't this the correct way to model the removal of a prop?

Thanks

please create the script file (from menu bar save as script) and submit it so I can take a look at this issue.

there was a bug in removing the structural element which is fixed now. please go ahead and download the latest version and give it try.

Good afternoon, and thanks for the reply.

With the new version I'm able to delete the "prop" beams, but the program doesn't seem to converge to a result after that's done.

Here's a script attached.

Thanks

it seems there is a bug in removing beam action. after deleting the beam elements model does not converge. which should not happen. if you look at attached script, without the slab your model converges with no issue but as soon as you add the slab and remove it later problem surfaces.

I'll take a look at this problem and let you know when it's resolved.

by the way thank you for the bug reporting. It keeps me motivated.

I did fix the bug in the latest version. please go a head and install the new version and rerun your script. it should converge now. please let me know if you still are facing the same issue.
