Hello Staad Experts ,
During Wind Load generation, i often come up with the following warning
:WARNING-fx fy fz wind forces: 0.0000E+00 0.0000E+00 -1.6585E-01 at coordinates: 7.4975E+00 8.6465E+00 0.0000E+00 ignored.
Why is this coming up?
There are few instances where the WIND load command is not associated with a specific exposed face. So, the program has to scan through the whole structure to find one. When it runs into what it perceives as intersecting members without a common node at the intersection point, these messages are displayed.
I would suggest you to provide the coordinates of the Exposed area with some tolerance as X range ,Y range and Z range in the wind load case definition ,so that the concerned nodes are covered by the ranges . This helps the program to identify the proper exposed area for wind load. Or you can associate them with a member list or a group name in each case, and the message will disappear.

Good day everyone,
I've encountered the same problem. but I already specify the x y z ranges. The warning still comes up.
I am new with staad pro. Please help.
Thank you.
