Bar with changing cross sections - 2D Static Analysis

DJ_NunyaDJ_Nunya
I apologize in advance since I am new to FEA and new to Mecway/ Calculix. I set up a simple analysis of some bar elements but I am getting some crazy displacements, no reaction forces, and no stress. The file is attached. Where did I mess up?

    Different sections are disconnected...try view -> open crack...after that mesh tools -> merge nearby nodes e try again

    Great catch! This gives much better results.
