very interesting presentation. at the end, there was a bug in the model. it would be interesting to know what it was and how you found it.

Well, finally we figured out, that there actually wasn't a bug in the model. The set of manual operations just needed to be updated. After closing the model and opening again the calculation worked. So, in case you would like to replicate the same model, the building process presented in the tutorial should be working.

Desr Sir, during designing baseplate with 4 bolts on each corner. And a HEB200 connected with it. I applied only 100KN tension force. . So technically each 4 bolts should carry 25KN . BUT STATICA Is giving answer each bolt as 37.3KN. please help

I have made a simple connection with I column having base plate and 4 anchor bolts,, i applied only a tension force of 10KN, but when i check bolt forces what i found each bolt having 2.626KN (it should have 10/4 = 2.5 KN) why ??

Look up prying force.

Yes, Gábor is right. The force increase is caused by the prying forces. The more rigid base plate you use, the smaller prying effect should occur.
