Does anybody know what is the reason of the warning like this ?
*** WARNING: No duct reduction (b-beg, b-end) for element(s) 1001 defined (tendongroup(s) exist(s)) !
And how to updated model to avoid it ?
Regards,
Bogdan
Hi Bogdan,
This warning means there are no duct reduction of the web width for the shear capacity check at the beginning and end of the listed elements. This values can be automatically calculated if the tendons are individually created, thought they need to be an additional input when created by tendon groups. So in this case user defined values are needed and it might be a good idea to update the model with a value that is not zero in the tendon group as this is the total width to be substracted to create the effective width. More information can be found at the RM Bridge Analysis User Manual at section 15.5 Shear Capacity Check
Warnings are not Errors, although they need to be individually verified by the user but not necessarily eliminated in the calculation process.
