I am writing an article in two column and I am using the minipage
environment. The problem is that in the column where there is the minipage
any text fills the white space ? Why this happens ? I tried to reduce the height of the minipage
but I couldn't do it. I tried also with \vfill
\begin{figure}[!htbp]
\begin{minipage}[c][6cm][t]{0.49\textwidth}
\centering
\resizebox{0.9\linewidth}{!}{
\begin{tikzpicture}[]
\node[draw=none,fill=none,scale=1.0] at (0,0) {\input{figures/case1_macro.tikz}};
\node[draw=none,fill=none,scale=0.4] at (0,-4) {\includegraphics[]{figures/case1_macro.pdf}};
\end{tikzpicture}
}
\captionof{figure}{\label{fig:case_1}Example of a beam subjected to flexion solved with the FE$^2$ multi-scale method.}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}[c][6cm][t]{0.49\textwidth}
\vspace{1.5cm}
\centering
\resizebox{0.9\linewidth}{!}{
\begin{tikzpicture}[]
\node[draw=none,fill=none,scale=1.0] at (0,0) {\input{figures/case1_micro.tikz}};
\node[draw=none,fill=none,scale=0.2] at (0,-3) {\includegraphics[]{figures/case1_micro.pdf}};
\end{tikzpicture}

\captionof{figure}{\label{fig:case_1}Example of a beam subjected to flexion solved with the FE$^2$ multi-scale method.}

arguments to\begin{figure}[!h] ...
has work. I will post that solution. – GG1991 Apr 8 '19 at 15:47\resizebox
here it is not needed to scale the tikz and just scales the caption to an inconsistent font size. – David Carlisle Apr 8 '19 at 18:07
