In the US Aluminium design, the allowable stresses on members are dependent on the following:
ALLOY
PRODUCT Type
ALCLAD
WELD Type
STRUCTURE Type
THICKNESS of the various components of the cross section
The program uses all of the above parameters to look up the allowable stresses from a Table which one may find in the Aluminum Design Manual. If it cannot find a matching combination, it tries to come up with the best guess as to which of the above parameters is responsible for the lack of "match". In the above message, the program determines the PRODUCT type to be the one causing the problem.
