how to deal with the the problem of "badly shaped, not convex, warped,or not mumbered counter-clockwise"?

It appears to me that all the 4 nodes are not in one plane. That may be checked with the joint coordinate. one coordinate (x or y or z) for all the 4 points has to be the same. Pl check.

thank you very much for your reply,

now l'm doing a design of tank roof in steel structure, but actually, l can not solve this issue, would you mind to check the model shown as bellow, thanks a lot.

looking forward to your answer.

regards,

Your editor file is not having node no.50 51 52 and 53. Plate no 4 in the model is attached to some other nodes. Whether the warning that you spoke to pertains to this model or some other model.

You need to subdivide the plates further. Currently, the length of the longest side to the shortest side of each element is 5/0.17 = approx. 29.5

A value greater than 8 triggers the warning message.

it's solved, thank you so much.
