IBC/UBC seismic warning

"**WARNING: IF THIS UBC/IBC ANALYSIS HAS TENSION/COMPRESSION OR REPEAT LOAD OR RE-ANALYSIS OR SELECT OPTIMIZE, THEN EACH UBC/IBC CASE SHOULD BE FOLLOWED BY PERFORM ANALYSIS & CHANGE."

 I did not understand anything from that warning but it contd to analize the structure. I wanna ask you that is my seismic analysis correct?

P.s: I entered 0.8s period values on purpose. And i know my modal analysis is wrong.

  • 1. When UBC/IBC load cases are present in the model, each such load case must be followed by a PERFORM ANALYSIS and CHANGE command. For example LOAD 1 IBC LOAD X PERFORM ANALYSIS CHANGE LOAD 2 IBC LOAD X PERFORM ANALYSIS CHANGE LOAD 3 SELF Y -1 LOAD 4 FLOOR LOAD YRA 13.9 14.2 FLOAD -3.2 .. .. 2. In the DEFINE MATERIAL command, check whether you have specified DENSITY for the material. If you have not, the warning you encountered will appear. Without density, the weight of the entities to which that material is assigned cannot be calculated.
