Good day
I have modeled a structural steel frame building and analyzed it using the direct analysis method, however I have received a few warnings and I would like to know the relevant of these as well as their potential effect on my analysis results. I have listed the warnings below in point form:
1. WARNING: IN UNIFORM MEMBER LOAD. ITEM "f3" NOT PROVIDED FOR MEMBER 177 CASE 96
"f3" ASSUMED TO BE MEMBER LENGTH = 5.33
2. *WARNING- APPLIED SELFWEIGHT IS MORE THAN TOTAL WEIGHT OF ALL
STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS IN LOAD CASE 96 ALONG Y.
3.**WARNING: TENSION/COMPRESSION SPECIFIED WITH PDELTA KG OR
DIRECT ANALYSIS. SO TENSION/COMPRESSION IS SWITCHED OFF.
4. **WARNING: DIRECT OR PDELTA KG ANALYSIS REQUESTED. SO TENSION/COMPRESSION ANALYSIS IS NOT ALLOWED.
5.**WARNING: DIRECT OR PDELTA KG ANALYSIS REQUESTED. SO TENSION/COMPRESSION ANALYSIS IS NOT ALLOWED.
I have also attached the Staad file as a reference for the issues mentioned above.
