Zollinger timber structure A tennis roof Paris 1999 storm in karamba 3d

Hello,
I’m trying to find an alternative to the reconstruction of a Zollinger roof structure located on top of a Parisian building failed during the 1999 storm. I model the structure in karamba 3d with beaver plugin

ancient structure failed with the storm :

The new diamond structure is reinforced by glued laminated arches:

the Zollinger framework is relegated to a bracing role. I tried to tighten the mesh and increase the sections a little more but I don’t understand why there is a weak point at the intersection between the edge and the ridge beam :

I have some problem also to apply forces to nodes with beaver plugin
