Q: What does the message *** FATAL ERROR: Nodes Are Not Connected to Rest mean?
REV 7.00

A: It means that you are trying to analyze at least two, independent structures. In MOSES the subset of the model you are trying to solve must be connected. This error normally occurs when one is trying to transport more than one piece of cargo on a single barge. To make this problem "go away" you can either make each piece of cargo a separate piece and solve them one at a time, or connect them with weak beams. Many of these details are taken care of automatically with the Automated Installation Tools. To see which elements are not connected, take the list of nodes that comes with this error message, create a selection criterion. Use the criterion to show a picture of the structure: &PICT ISO -ENDS :LIST -COLOR SELECTED.
