Surface Type Error
Answer
You have selected "Rigid diaphragm" as the story slab stiffness in the Building Stories (Image 02). The "Rigid Diaphragm" is used to rigidly connect all components of a story in the floor plane with a rigid link. By doing so, the floor can no longer be defined with its real stiffness.
Therefore, surfaces with the "Load Transfer" stiffness type must be used (Image 03). It is not possible to create internal rigid links for surfaces with the stiffness type "Standard".

CSA S16:19 Stability Considerations and the New Annex O.2
The CSA S16:19 Stability Effects in Elastic Analysis method in Annex O.2 is an alternative option to the Simplified Stability Analysis Method in Clause 8.4.3. This article will describe the requirements of Annex O.2 and application in RFEM 6.
- How can I model a rib element in RFEM 6?
- The load distribution on my members looks different when using the Load Transfer surface vs. the Load Wizards. What is the reason?
- My beam has a continuous lateral support and therefore lateral torsional buckling (LTB) is not a concern. How do I define the effective length?
