Warning Log

The Warning Log Spreadsheet provides you with a record of any warnings or errors that occurred during the solution of your model. The log should be reviewed for warnings or errors that would affect the design of your structure.  The error log reports back the item label for which the error occurred.

You can view the warning log by clicking on the Spreadsheets menu item and then clicking on the Warning Log selection.

Pressing the ? hyperlink will open the help file to give further explanation on this item.

Here is a common warning which could require some additional explanation:

Sum of reactions is not equal to the sum of the loads (LC xx)! Check for any small rigid links or fixed boundary conditions.

When the solution is complete, the program checks the sum of the reaction forces in each direction if this is more than 0.1% different from the sum of the applied loads, then this warning message will be displayed. The most common causes for this warning message are the following: 

For additional advice on this topic, please see the RISA Tips & Tricks webpage at risa.com/post/support. Type in Search keywords: Sum of Reactions.

Here is a table containing all possible warnings, the cause, and possible solutions:

Warning Number Warning Log Message Cause Solution
WARNING 41001 Web Slenderness > 70e. Web Buckling NOT checked for Shear Capacity.

British Hot Rolled Steel Design has been requested for a Hot Rolled Steel HHS Tube, Channel, or WT shape that has a very slender web. The current design code does not address web buckling as a failure state for shapes other than Wide Flange Members.

See if a code revision now provides guidance on checking web buckling for Tubes, Channels, or WT shapes.
WARNING 41003 The rebar does not exist. No Capacity Calculated. This message means that a user defined reinforcement profile has resulted in a member with zero capacity (and zero reinforcement) at the described location. Revise the user defined reinforcement so that it is present at all locations along the member's length.
WARNING 41005

Span length is less than 1 foot. No design for this span.

 RISA uses span information to perform concrete member design and rebar optimization. When a member spans less than 1 foot from support to support then the program cannot perform this design. Increase the span to a length greater than 1 foot, or ignore design of this member in this short segment.
WARNING 41007

Composite design not done : Beam is continuous.

The composite beam has fixed ends, or passes as a continuous member over a support. This resulted in a negative bending moment on the beam, which would place the concrete slab in tension. RISA cannot perform a composite design when the slab is in tension. Modify the beam's end releases to be pinned, or eliminate a midspan support under the beam. Otherwise, change the beam to be non-composite. For a T-beam member in RISA-3D seeing negative bending, the flanges will be ignored.
WARNING 41009 Unable to provide min steel (As,min) per Model Settings. A minimum area of steel was specified in the Model Settings. However, the cross section size, and the rebar spacing and cover requirements prevent enough rebar from being placed to meet that area of steel requirement. Increase the cross section size of the member so that more steel can be placed, or lower the minimum area of steel requirement in the Model Settings.
WARNING 41011 The tensile strain in steel is less than 0.004 The arrangement and amount of reinforcing steel is such that if the member fails it will fail in a brittle manner (Compression Controlled Section)). This is not allowed, per ACI 318-14, Sections 7.3.3.1, 8.3.3.1, 9.3.3.1 (ACI 318-11 Section 10.3.5) The quantity and arrangement of rebar is such that the rebar is not yielding prior to a concrete failure. Change the dimensions of the cross section of the concrete or alter the rebar design rules such that the rebar yields first.
WARNING 41012 The tensile strain in steel is less than 0.005 The arrangement and amount of reinforcing steel is such that if the member fails it might fail in a brittle manner (Transition Section). The strength reduction factor was reduced according to ACI 318-14, Section 21.2.2 (ACI 318-11 Section 10.3.4) This does not indicate a failure. However, the full strength of the section is not being reached. To increase the strain (and therefore increase the strength), change the dimensions of the cross section of the concrete or alter the rebar design rules such that the rebar yields first.
WARNING 41021 More than 200 bars not allowed. The concrete column solver used by RISA for our direct integration solution has an internal limit of 200 flexural bars per concrete column. This limit has been exceeded for this member. If using a custom rebar layout, reduce the number of bars. If doing rebar optimization, use a larger minimum bar size so the program will use fewer bars.
WARNING 41023 Optimize concrete beam solver error. The concrete beam solver has encountered an error. Contact RISA Support and send your model so that this error can be resolved.
WARNING 41025 Column/Beam Cover Value too large. 25% of member depth used instead. The program's concrete solver was not designed to accommodate very large cover values relative the member depth/width. Therefore a maximum cover value of 25% of the member's dimension in that direction was used instead of the cover value specified in the rebar design rules. Modify the member size or the cover dimension so that the cover dimension is no more than 25% of the member dimension.
WARNING 41027 Unable to Iterate Phi for a Given Rebar Strain. For the ACI-318 2002 Concrete Code and later, the Phi value for axial/flexural loading is based on the concrete strain, and must be iterated for the Load Contour method. This iteration process has failed for this particular member and load. Send this model to RISA so we can review the conditions under which the value of Phi could not be calculated.
WARNING 41029 Member/Wall is slender and can sway, but P-Delta Analysis was NOT run. A slender concrete column or concrete wall panel has a Sway flag set in its Design Parameters , however a P-Delta analysis was not run in 1 or more Load Combinations that are set to do Concrete Design, so the expected amplifying effects were not calculated. On the Load Combinations spreadsheet, set the PDelta value to be "Y" or "C" so that a P-Delta analysis is run for the Load Combinations that are flagged to do Concrete Design. Alternately, if the member or wall cannot sway, remove the Sway flag.
WARNING 41031 Slender Compression Failure (Pu > .75Pc). No Slender calculations done. The axial compression exceeds 75% of the Euler Buckling capacity of the member. This means that the member is prone to column-type buckling, and it causes ACI 318-14/19, Eqn 6.6.4.5.2 (ACI 318-11 Eqn 10-12) to go to infinity (representing a column buckling failure) Decrease the axial compression load on the member, or increase the cross section size, or decrease the unbraced length of the member.
WARNING 41034 KL/r > 100 for this compression member. See ACI 318-05 Section 10.11.5 ACI 318-05 and earlier concrete codes allowed the moment magnification procedure to be used in lieu of a second order analysis. RISA uses the moment magnification procedure for these codes. This was limited to members with a slenderness less than 100. ACI 318 08/11/14 do not have this limitation because of the P-Delta analysis requirement. Increase the cross section size, or decrease the unbraced length of the member. Alternatively, use a newer version of the code where this requirement no longer exists.
WARNING 41042 KL/r > 120 for this compression member. See AS 10.5.1 : 2001 AS 3600-2001, Section 10.5.1 prohibits the slenderness of a member from exceeding 120 unless a "rigorous analysis" is performed. RISA does not perform that rigorous analysis, so therefore this limit must be enforced. Increase the cross section size, or decrease the unbraced length of the member.
WARNING 41044 H/r > 410 for this compression member. See NTC-DF2004 1.4.2.2 NTC-DF2004, Section 1.4.2.2.b states that a non-linear second order analysis be performed if the slenderness exceeds 410. RISA does not perform that type of analysis, so therefore this limit must be enforced. Increase the cross section size, or decrease the unbraced length of the member.
WARNING 41046 Failed to satisfy minimum rebar (Temperature + Shrinkage) requirement. The concrete rebar optimization was unable to place enough rebar to satisfy the requirements for temperature and shrinkage per ACI 318-14/19, Sections 8.6.1.1 and 24.4.3.2 (ACI 318-11 Section 7.12.2.1) Change the cross section size or change the rebar optimization parameters in the Design Rules so that enough rebar can be placed to meet this code requirement.
WARNING 41052 Reinforcement is failing. See detail report for more information. The program was unable to place enough rebar to meet strength requirements, or the explicit rebar provided was insufficient. See the detail report. It is likely that the concrete dimensions need to be changed, or the rebar requirements need to be changed in the Design Rules
WARNING 41076 Tapered Member has a Fy greater than 55 ksi. AISC Design Guide #25 is used for the design of tapered members, however the design guide is limited to members with a yield stress not exceeding 55 ksi per Section 1.2.1. Therefore no design can be done for this member. Use a material with a lower yield stress for this member, or specify a design code which accommodates this material strength.
WARNING 41077 bf < h/7 for some of the unbraced length. AISC Design Guide #25 is used for the design of tapered members, however the design guide is limited to members with a flange width not less than 7 times the web depth per Section 1.2.7. Therefore no design can be done for this member. Use a member with a wider flange or a more shallow web. Or specify a design code which accommodates a member with these dimensions.
WARNING 41082 Could not use 2 Minimum Flexural Bars. No Code Check Possible. The program cannot design members with less than two bars. The member size, cover, spacing requirements, bar size, and stirrup size prevent two bars from being placed in this member. Alter the cross section dimension, or modify the rebar design rules so that two bars can fit.
WARNING 41083 Can't add more new rebar layout name(s). Default layout is restored. When opening a model file that contains 1 or more custom rebar layouts that do not exist in the current library of custom rebar layouts, the program tries to add the layouts from the model file to the copy of the library in memory. If adding another layout would exceed the maximum number of layouts, no further layouts are added and members that referenc a layout that could not be added will have their layout selection set to the default value. Remove any unneeded rebar layouts from the current program library of custom rebar layouts to make room so the new layouts can be read in. Alternately, temporarily rename the custom rebar layout library file so that no custom rebar layouts are read in when the program starts up and then the model file will read in with all its rebar layouts.
WARNING 41084 Invalid moving load pattern referenced in this file. The pattern was not found in the current moving load library. The moving load pattern is saved on each user's computer and it is not carried with the model. Locate the moving load library from the original model's computer and place it in the RISA folder.
WARNING 41085 The BLC entry for a load combination is not valid. This BLC entry has been cleared, check your combinations! The Load Combinations spreadsheet is referencing a Basic Load Case that does not exist. This is not allowed, so that Basic Load Case was removed from the Load Combinations. Carefully review the Load Combinations spreadsheet to ensure that it is referencing all of the correct Basic Load Cases.
WARNING 41086 Invalid Shape Name. Previous entry for this field was restored. There are shape names that not allowed to be used in RISA because they conflict with default names or do not follow the naming convention rules. Try to rename the shape using a different name or review the Help file On-Line shapes for rules on typing the shape name.
WARNING 41087 Invalid shape names for members or columns were found. These were changed to: RE1X1. Please see warning log for more details. There are shape names that not allowed to be used in RISA because they conflict with default names or do not follow the naming convention rules. Try to rename the shape using a different name or review the Help file On-Line shapes for rules on typing the shape name.
WARNING 41088 More than MAX_NO_MTO in MTO Report! Report was Truncated. The Material Takeoff report is limited to a certain size, and the takeoff in your model exceeds that size. Contact RISA to request that the maximum size of Material Takeoff reports be increased.
WARNING 41089 British HR Steel : High Shear Bending Capacity Failed, Section 4.2.5.3 The member failed. See the code reference from the warning.
WARNING 41095 Round Shapes for Beams are not supported. No design is provided for round concrete beams Either change the member type so that it is a column, or change the cross section to be rectangular.
WARNING 41096 Required reinforcement exceeds maximum reinforcement ratios and/or reinforcement spacing restrictions. No Code Check Possible. The reinforcement required to meet strength demand violates minimum bar spacing or maximum reinforcement ratios for the beam. Review the Design Rules assigned to this element and make sure they are appropriate for the level of loading. Alternatively, adjust the size or thickness of the element.
WARNING 41099 Rebar(s) falls outside the cross section. They are ignored in Capacity Calculation. The user defined bar layout assigned to this member results in bars that do not fall within the cross section. Edit the bar layout defined to this member.
WARNING 41100 The rebar provided is more than Maximum Allowed by Code for a singly reinforced beam. Acceptable steel ratios are controlled by the ACI 318 and other code provisions. The codes limit the max steel that can be used for member reinforcement. Adjust concrete reinforcement design rules to adhere to code maximum reinforcement provisions.
WARNING 41102 Factored torsional moment Tu exceeds the threshold torsion per ACI 318-14/19 22.7.4.1 Beams and columns ignore torsion with respect to design of shear reinforcement. When using the ACI 318-02 or newer, RISA will check the member torsion value against the Threshold Torsion code provided value. (ACI 318-11 11.5.1, ACI 318-08 11.5.1, ACI 318-05 11.6.1, ACI 318-02 11.6.1, ACI 318-99 11.6.1) The shear reinforcement will have to be designed by the engineer for torsion.
WARNING 41107 Custom rebar layout does not meet min steel (As,min) per Model Settings. The member custom reinforcement ratio does not meet the minimum steel reinforcement set in the Model Settings. Either increase the member's custom reinforcement area or decrease the member's gross concrete area. The min steel area in the Model Settings can also be adjusted with regards to code provisions for minimum steel requirements.
WARNING 41108 Custom rebar layout does not meet min steel (As,min) per ACI 318 requirements. The member custom reinforcement ratio does not meet the minimum steel reinforcement per code provisions. Either increase the member's custom reinforcement area or decrease the member's gross concrete area.
WARNING 41110 Unable to provide min steel (As,min) per ACI -318 requirements. The member's reinforcement design does not meet the code requirements for minimum steel reinforcement ratio. Increase the member's reinforcement design rule to meet code provisions for minimum steel reinforcement ratio.
WARNING 41120 The shear tie spacing does not meet the code Minimum Requirement. Member shear tie spacing is less than the minimum spacing allowed by the applicable code provisions.. Adjust the member shear tie spacing to meet code minimum requirements.
WARNING 41121 No investigation! Circular layout is applied to a rectangular section or vice versa. No design done. Either a custom circular reinforcement layout has been applied to a rectangular member or a custom rectangular reinforcement layout has been applied to a circular member. Define a custom rebar layout applicable to the member shape type.
WARNING 41122 Compression Pu exceeds 0.75*Pc (Euler buckling). The program will not give design results for columns which have more than 75% of Euler Buckling load as the intention of ACI 318-14/19 Eqn 6.6.4.5.2 (ACI 318-11 Eqn 10-12). Increase the column member size which in turn will increase the Euler Buckling capacity.
WARNING 41123 Span qualifies as a 'Deep Section'. No Design for this Span. Span qualifies as 'deep beam' per ACI 318-14/19 Section 9.9.1.1(a) (ACI 318-11 Section 10.7) where the member clear span is equal to or less than four times the total member depth (h). RISA does not design for deep beams. The engineer is responsible for member design.
WARNING 41125 Shear bars are not provided along entire column length. Generally, concrete columns will have shear bars provided along the entire length of the column because of lateral confinement requirements. This member has its shear bars assigned using a custom rebar layout (it's not being optimized) and there is a region where no shear bars were specified. Look at the shear rebar layout being used for this column and make sure there are no regions without shear bars. If the concrete design code being used permits columns to have regions without shear reinforcement, this warning can be ignored.
WARNING 41126 Data missing in XML file Record Ignored. Data is missing in the wood database XML file referred to in the model. Edit or enter useable data in the XML wood database at the given row and column.
WARNING 41129 Invalid design rule offset is detected in a section. Changed to the first design rule in the list. The program has detected corrupt information for the specified element's design rule. The design rule was changed to the first listed design rule. Recheck entries for the specified element's design rule for any inconsistencies.
WARNING 41138 No Design of Slabs with Thickness < XX. The slab thickness is less than the indicated thickness. No design is done. Increase the slab thickness or the slab design needs to be done with hand calculations.
WARNING 41139 No Design of Design Cuts with Width < XX The design strip width is less than the indicated width. No design is done. Increase the design strip width to receive reinforcement design.
WARNING 41140 Top/bot cover value too large. 40% of thickness used instead. The program's concrete solver was not designed to accommodate very large cover values relative the thickness. Therefore a maximum cover value of 40% of the element's thickness was used instead of the cover value specified in the rebar design rules. Modify the element thickness or the cover dimension so that the cover dimension is no more than 40% of the thickness.
WARNING 41160 Unstable Joint with load applied to it has been fixed. Load will not be applied to the model. The given joint is unstable for translation and/or rotation. The load applied at the joint will not be applied to the model at solution time. Address the joint's instability by restraining the translation and/or rotation at that location.
WARNING 41166

Poission's ratio of a plate must be >= 0. and <= .5 .

 The ratio of the plate's lateral strain to axial strain does not fall within the allowable range. Adjust the properties and/or the applied loads on the plate to meet the allowable Poisson's ratio range.
WARNING 41170 Max Limit Exceeded! - Records not read. When opening and reading a model file, one more Program Limits were exceeded in the data sections shown in the Warning Log. This situation can occur if a model created in the 64 bit version of a program is opened in the 32 bit version of the same program. In certain rare cases, we may have reduced the allowable number of some data elements in later program versions. Alternately, the file may have gotten corruped. You can send the file to RISA Techonologies so we can see why the program limits are being exceeded, and in some cases we can fix the model file.

WARNING 41280 All panels in selected wood panel group are ineffective based on thickness criteria in Design Rule. The program was not able to select a wall panel in the wood panel group due to the thickness constraints defined in the Design Rule. Increase the range for the max and min thickness values in the Wall Panel Design Rule.
WARNING 41281 All panels in selected wood panel group are ineffective based on nail spacing criteria in Design Rule. The program was not able to select a wall panel in the wood panel group due to the nail spacing constraints defined in the Design Rule. Increase the range for the max and min nail spacing values in the Wall Panel Design Rule.
WARNING 41282 All panels in selected wood panel group are ineffective based on \Double Sided\" criteria in Design Rule." The program was not able to select a wall panel in the wood panel group due to the Double Sided criteria defined in the Design Rule. Select another option for the Double Sided criteria in the Wall Panel Design Rule.
WARNING 41283 Selected panel with _W is invalid in Design Rule." Very old wood databases contained wood wall panels that had incorrect values, and which had "_W" in their name. These panels are ignored to prevent errors. Use a different panel for the wood wall.
WARNING 41288 Column has a span less than 5 analysis sections. Cannot Perform Concrete Design. The concrete column is too short for an accurate design. Less than 5 cuts could be made in its span, so flexural theory would not be applicable.

In order to perform concrete rebar design, the program needs to have a good representation for what sort of moment and shear diagrams exists in the member. When there are less than 5 internal sections in a beam or span, the program will warn you that it did not have enough information to perform an adequate concrete design. Increasing the number of internal sections on the Model Settings Dialog may correct this problem.

Since, the program wants to perform shear design at a distance "d" from the face of support, it may not be possible to get rebar design for members with a large depth and a relatively short span. Keep in mind that this will only affect rebar design. Deflection and force results are unaffected.
WARNING 41297 Wall Panel is failing a reinforcement requirement. See detail report for more information. The wall panel specified is not meeting reinforcement requirements. Access the wall detail report for further information. Adjust the wall panel design rule to meet reinforcement requirements.
WARNING 41298 Wall region is using an uncommon block size. No self weight defined for this wall. Apply weight manually. If you choose an odd block material and thickness then the NCMA tables do not tabulate the self-weight for these cases. Either use a more common block or manually calculate the self-weight of wall and apply it as a load in DL category.
WARNING 41302 One or more walls have a thickness <= 0. Please correct this to export the walls to RISA-3D." Walls must have a thickness greater than zero. Assign a thickness greater than zero in the Modify Walls dialog box.
WARNING 41308 Duplicate shape name was found in database. Changed from XX to YY Two different shapes may not have the same name. One of the shapes' names was altered so that they do not have the same name. Rename the shapes as appropriate, or just use the updated naming that was automatically applied.
WARNING 41332 Composite design not done : Beam has negative moment along its span. Negative bending moment on the beam places the concrete slab in tension. RISA cannot perform a composite design when the slab is in tension. Change the beam to be non-composite.
WARNING 41362 Steel code check not calculated. The program was not able to perform a steel code check for this member. Member is not defined with a database shape or a steel code is not specified on the Model Settings or no units were specified. For LRFD this message is displayed if the steel yield stress is less than 10 ksi. See Detail Report for more information.
WARNING 41363 Web is slender per Table B5.1, handle as a plate girder. Web is slender per Table B5.1, handle as a plate girder. The ratio h/tw exceeds the limiting criteris listed in Table B5.1. This means Chapter G (plate girders) governs and must be considered by engineer.
WARNING 41364 Compressive stress fa exceeds F'e (Euler buckling). The stress in the member exceeds the Euler Buckling stress.

WARNING 41531 Wall Panel: One of the end shear panels does not meet the aspect ratio limitations. Design Not Done The height-to-length ratio of an end region in this wall violates the maximum ratio allowed ratio per the code. For Perforated and force Transfer around Openings design methods no design can be done for the wall. Change the wall design method to Segmented to get design of the conforming regions. Alternatively, adjust the given wall panel's geometry so that all of the regions meet aspect ratio limitations of the code.
WARNING 41532 Wall Panel : No openings in the shear wall. Segmented design method used. Perforated or Force Transfer design method cannot be used for a wall without openings. Specify openings in the wall or use the Segmented design method for walls without openings.

WARNING 41534 Wall Panel: Holddowns and straps do not align in the wallpanel stack. The holddowns in a wall panel stack do not align vertically. This is only a warning and can be ignored in some cases. Holddowns can be influenced by perpendicular walls framing into the given wall or other framing scenarios. Check that the wall panels in the wall panel stack align.
WARNING 41535 Wall Panel: Stud spacing exceeds 24 inches. Stud spacing greater than 24 inches is not allowed per NDS SDPWS Section 4.3.7.1.5 Reduce the stud spacing to no more than 24" o.c.
WARNING 41536 Wall Panel: Straps do not align with chords on the wall below. The straps on the wall above, which carry a concentrated uplift force due to wall overturning, are landing in the middle of the wall below. There is no continuous chord member below to carry this uplift down to the foundation. The load is being spread out to the studs instead. Rearrange the walls so that a wall or segment edge lands right where the strap is. The program places a Chord member at the edges of walls and segments. Otherwise, account for this discontinuous load path through manual calculations and detailing.
WARNING 41537 Wall Panel : Perforated walls cannot be sloped. Design Not Done. The perforated design method is not allowed for sloped walls per NDS SDPWS Section 4.3.5.3.6 Use a different design methodology such as Segmented or Force Transfer around Openings.

Use a different design methodology such as Segmented or Perforated. This can be set in the Wall Panels spreadsheet, Advanced tab.
WARNING 41542 Wall Panel: The height to width ratio of the overall wall is greater than 3.5. Design Not Done. The NDS SDPWS places an upper limit on wall aspect ratios per Section 4.3.4 This wall must be ignored for shear resistance. If reconfiguring the wall to meet the required aspect ratio is not possible then remove the wall from the model.
WARNING 41543 Wall Panel : Length of the shear panel should be more than 2 ft. Design Not Done. Shear panels less than 2 feet in length are forbidden by the NDS SDPWS per Section 4.3.5.2.1 This shear panel must be ignored for shear resistance. If reconfiguring the wall to meet the required aspect ratio is not possible then remove the wall from the model.
WARNING 41544 Wall Panel : No adequate hold-down found in database. None of the hold downs in the database specified in the Wall Design Rules spreadsheet, Wood Wall Fasteners tab were adequate for the uplift loads. Reduce the uplift forces on the wall or specify a different hold-down database that has adequate capacities for the hold-down forces.
WARNING 41545 Wall Panel: Hold-down failed. The hold-down specified in the Wall Design Rules spreadsheet, Wood Wall Fasteners tab was inadequate for the uplift loads. Reduce the uplift forces on the wall or specify a different hold-down that has adequate capacities for the hold-down forces.
WARNING 41546 Value of rT = 0. Reset to 41000. The value of rT is set to zero in the shape database, but this value cannot be zero for code check calcuations so a dummy value was used instead. This value is incorrect for the member, so the capacity calculations are incorrect. Set the rT value for this shape to be a value larger than zero in the Shape Database.

WARNING 41583 Wall Panel XX: Masonry cover value updated because input value does not fall within the masonry block core. If you define a cover where the bar then hits the faceshell of the masonry block then this message is given. Adjust the cover in the Wall Design Rules so that the reinforcement is completely within the masonry core.
WARNING 41586 LCXX: Service Flag setting is different for the Mass LC and this LC. The different Stiffness Matrices being used will give inconsistent results. For a dynamic or a time history solution, it is possible to have your mass matrix and solution matrix based on different service flags. This will cause an inherent consistency in the results. The level of cracking assumed (for concrete members or walls) during the dynamic solution (mode shapes / natural frequencies) is inconsistent with the level of cracking assumed in the solved load combination, which depends on the dynamic solution results.
WARNING 41589 Wall Panel XX: Region(s) XX do not satisfy the h/w ratio. Design skipped for that region. The NDS wood code requires certain h/w ratio limits be met to allow a region in a wall segment to be used as a shear wall.  If these ratios are not met then this region is ignored for shear wall purposes. The shear stiffness (not the axial) is removed from this wall region so that no shear force will accumulate in this region. This will then push all of the shear force to the qualifying wall segments.
WARNING 41590 Wall Panel XX: missing holddown/strap at (XX, XX, XX). Design Not Done. Segmented shear wall requires two holddowns/straps per shear panel. A strap or a hold-down is missing from the base of a full-height wall segment. Editing of a wood wall can, in some instances, cause a problem with the hold-downs/straps in a wall.  If this occurs you can double-click the wall in the wall panel editor and re-add the strap/hold-down where necessary.
WARNING 41603 The user defined Shear Modulus(G) for material XX is substantially higher than E/2(1+v) so it is being ignored; objects using this material will be treated as isotropic. A check is done on materials in the Materials spreadsheet to determine whether the input E and G values are matching. If G is much greater than mechanics of materials would suggest, the program will ignore the G and use the E/2(1+v) value. No action is required.
WARNING 41604 The user defined Shear Modulus(G) for material XX is below the isotropic value of E/2(1+v); plates/walls/diaphragms using this material will be treated as orthotropic. A check is done on materials in the Materials spreadsheet to determine whether the input E and G values are matching. If G is much smaller than the E/2(1+v) value this warning is generated and the input G is used. If this G was input on purpose then no action is required. If not then you may wish to update or delete your G value in the Material spreadsheet. The program will auto-calculate G if left blank.
WARNING 41607 Wall Panel XX has a height < 6 inch. Walls < 6 inches tall cause a problem with the mesher and thus the program does not allow it. If you have something that is < 6" tall then use plate elements rather than wall panels.

WARNING 41610

 The selected sheathing panel for WPXX is not applicable for seismic applications. Check your load combinations. The CSA O86 sheathing tables define which panels are acceptable for seismic applications or not. This message will warn you if your wall is governed by a seismic load load combination but a non-applicable sheathing panel is selected. Select a different sheathing panel from the Wood Schedule database in the wall design rule.
WARNING 41611 Wall Panel XX: Perforated/FTAO design per the CSA O86 is not supported at this time. Segmented method used. The CSA O86 wood design manual only supports one wood wall design method: the Segmented Method. Therefore the program will automatically change to Segmented if you have selected another method. No action is required.
WARNING 41621 There are members defined as member type: "Beam" that are vertical (or nearly vertical). For proper deflection optimization, change member type to "Column".
