Unusual deformation , issue may be related to boundary condition?

12 December 2017 0 7K Report

I am analyzing a beam column system ( part of a bridge ) with unusual geometry in APDL , but the deformations dont seem to match intuitively with the ANSYS results. Please find the attached APDL log file for further details.
