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 user-specified limit of 200, or when the slenderness of a section in tension exceeds the user-specified limit of 300 (when the user has selected to consider this check in Criteria-Axial Slenderness Limits). |
| Pr > Pe1x or Pr > Pe1y | Displayed when B1 is considered in the design and the axial force on the section exceeds the elastic buckling capacity of the section. This has implications in the calculation of interaction values. |
| Pnt > Pe2x or Pnt > Pe2y | Displayed when B2 is considered in the design and the sum of axial forces on the sections in a diaphragm exceeds the elastic buckling capacity of all the sections in that diaphragm. 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. |
