The model illustrates a frame with hinged supports at the column bases and moment hinges at the column head. If only vertical loading is applied, the tension members are omitted, which makes the structural system unstable and causes the calculation to abort. The special feature is the option to activate special treatment of the failed members via “Calculation” → “Calculation Parameters” → “Global Calculation Parameters”.
