Error Messages
The following error messages may appear during the design process.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| KLR > 200 or LR > 300 | Displayed when the slenderness of a section in compression exceeds the code specified limit of 200, or when the slenderness of a section in tension exceeds the code specified limit of 300 (and the user has selected to consider this check in the Criteria-Axial Slenderness Limits). |
| fa > Fex or fa > Fey | Displayed when the axial force on the section exceeds the elastic buckling capacity of the section. This has implications in the calculation of interaction values. |
| T-O in Bend | Some tension-only members (flat bars, rods etc) do not have bending capacities calculated. This error is issued if one of these member types is subject to a bending force following an analysis. |
| T-O in Comp | Some tension-only members (flat bars, rods etc) do not have compression capacities calculated. This error is issued if one of these member types is subject to a compression force following an analysis. This should only occur if the user assigns a tension-only shape to a member that is then not designated to be tension-only. |
| A-O in Bend | Some members capable of withstanding both tension and compression forces only do not have bending capacities calculated. This error is issued if one of these member types is subject to a bending force following an analysis. |
