Warning: Stiffeners on gusset are required due to free edge buckling. How to remove this warning?
Can you please upload the file here?It seems from the warning the gusset plates needs some additional check which program is not performing and user needs to take care of that. It will be easier for us to comment better once we see the model.
Gusset.rar See the file
The file you have shared contains some user defined sections and hence I am unable to run it. Can you please provide the section properties as well? Or can you duplicate it with standard sections?

Increasing the thickness is the only way ???!!! Solving by increasing thickness requires too much thickness which does not seem logical. Can you check kindly? Is there any option to add a stiffener? What is the equation for this warning?
