I am getting warnings as below when uniformly distributed load (UDL) applied on members.

  *** WARNING : A CONCENTRATED LOAD AT ONE OF THE END POINTS OF MEMBER #     93(LOAD #  1001)

       SHOULD BE APPLIED AS A "JOINT LOAD" AND NOT AS A "MEMBER LOAD". FOR MORE INFORMATION, USE THE COMMAND "PRINT LOAD DATA".

The warning appears if a uniformly distributed load applied goes beyond the span of the member. Meaning if the end point of UDL stops at a point where  member does not exists then the load is converted to JOINT LOAD.

For more explanation please refer to STAAD.Pro Help section Modeling > M. Loading Your Model > M. Load Items > M. Member Load Items > M. To add a uniform load to members.
