An error has occurred while trying to calculate the tendon effective stresses. A tendon has a different number of strands than an adjacent tendon. Investigate tendon #a.

You can vary the number of strands along a continuous tendon, but it is discouraged. This warning alerts you that the number of strands within the tendon is variable.

To avoid the warning go to the appropriate tendon layer (the dialog box indicates on which layer the tendon is located) and change the number of strands in the tendon.

Note: It is usually best to use the Select Connected Tendons tool.

See "Can I terminate some strands past a column?" in Chapter 39, "Frequently Asked Questions" for more advice.
