W2164-12:System contains Gaps/Friction/Soil data. Please enable non-linear option in the following analysis sets warning message in AutoPIPE


	Applies To

	Product(s):	AutoPIPE,
	Version(s):	2004, XM, & V8i
	Environment:	N/A
	Area:	Warning
	Original Author:	Bentley Technical Support Group

Problem:

What does the following warning mean and how to resolve it?

W2164-12:System contains Gaps/Friction/Soil data. Please enable non-linear option in the following Analysis sets

Solution:

As mentioned, the warning explains that there are gap, friction, and/or soil value(s) that have been applied in the model, and if they are to be considered, must enable the option to perform a Non-linear analysis. Remember, a Linear Analysis will ignore all gap, friction, and soil settings when performing an analysis.

Please see the following AutoPIPE help section:

Help > Contents> Contents Tab> Reference Information> Analysis Considerations> Static Analysis> NonLinear Analysis> Nonlinear Analysis - Gaps, Friction and Soil Yielding Included.

As mentioned in the online help:

The nonlinear effect is specified by enabling the "Gaps/Friction/Soil" option in the Static Analysis dialog.

Note: This dialog above can be accessed from the Static Analysis Sets dialog (imaged below) by adding or modifying an Analysis Set. Otherwise, enable the Non-linear check-box indicated below
