1. No, node loads only 2. In the model i sent you, they are not perfectly rectangular. I created another model with rectangular plate elements and the issue still seemed...

That makes some sense. I dont think it's the non-orthogonal quads that are doing it though, the problem seems to be with the connection of the beam elements to the...

I should have it somewhere. I'll have a dig around tonight and see if I can find it.

I couldn't find the code that generated the original model, but I used the pickled data attached in the post above to regenerate the model using version 0.0.93. Your updates...

OK so i manage to find my old code that generated that model. Doesn't look like your latest changes have helped. I've used it to generate two more models, one...
