I have run the file in the latest version 22.10.00.153 and could not find any such error. A perform analysis command was missing and I added the same before finish command and after that the file run successfully.
Can you please check the same at your end?
Hi, I sorted it by going into the input file and removing the section of the file where it sets timber as a material. Thanks for the help on the other two errors. It's running fine now. I wondered if there was a way to apply a UDL at a given spacing? I tried with nodal point loads but the nodes don't seem to be attached to the structure. Thanks
Hello,
Good to know the issue is solved. You wrote," I wondered if there was a way to apply a UDL at a given spacing?". I would like to have some example to understand the issue. Under member load there are options to provide customized UDL.
Knowing your expectations will help to find out the solution.
