Mechanically welded simulation

Simulation Generality
1

Hello community, hoping you're doing well. 

I have some problems with my structure made of mechanically welded elements, let me explain: 

1. At certain connextions of the structure, SW shows me 2, 3 or 4 different connections while I made a single meeting point in the sketch. 

2. When I try to calculate the connections, SW shows me an error message (see image). 

But despite all this I get a result at the end of my simulation, but only I don't know if it's correct or not 

Thanks for helping me

So is it a bug or not... Depending on the profile I use, I may or may not have this type of problem.

To finish I make a small additional sketch line of the half thickness of the profile for the connection of the second T-shaped 

For other explanations, wait for the wise men of the CAO

I know that by clicking on these pink dots, you have the choice between several kinds of links between the profiles.

 

Either in miter cutting, or masters or not. Depending on the choices, I know that it affects the simulation.

 

But I don't know if this is the source of the problem. to try.

The message says that the beam connection is incorrect

so see the type of connections and connection

See these tutorials

After reading these tutorials I think that a lot of comprehension problems will be definitively removed

Have a nice day

Normally you can merge the close connectors if they are going to be common.

In the menu at the connection group level, you can edit them.
