Structure-Specific Diagnostics

The following abbreviations are used throughout this section to represent specific identifiers within the output messages:

Catalogue/Connectivity Errors

SC010 Catref/Specref of struc_elem unset

The SPREF for the named structural Section, Joint or Fitting does not point to a valid component in the Catalogue.

SC020 Pline word of struc_elem does not exist

The p-line of the given name cannot be accessed in the Catalogue description of the element. Either this p-line does not exist in the Catalogue description or the structural element points to the wrong Catalogue element.

SC030 POSL of struc_elem unset

The Positioning Line (POSL) attribute has not been set in the Design DB.

SC040 POSL of struc_elem_1 refers to non-existent Pline in struc_elem_2

The Positioning Line within the named Secondary Joint or Fitting does not refer to a valid p-line in the owning Section.

SC050 Incompatible Connection types between struc_elem_1 and struc_elem_2

Self-explanatory.

SC060 Incompatible Connection references between struc_elem_1 and struc_elem_2

Self-explanatory.

SC070 struc_elem is not connected

Self-explanatory.

SC080 Incompatible GTYPE of struc_elem: word_1 in Design, word_2 in Catalogue

The Generic Type used to classify the structural element in the Design DB is not the same as that used in the referenced Catalogue description.

SC090 Jline of struc_elem unset

The named structural element does not have its Joining Line attribute set, so its position and/or orientation with respect to a connected component cannot be defined.

SC100 INCOMPATIBLE ROD DIAMETER BETWEEN name AND name FOR HANGER HEAD AND TAIL

The Fitting and the Atta between which the hanger is to be connected have incompatible diameters.

SC110 TBORE [HBORE] NOT SAME AS BORE OF name

The Head/Tail diameter of the hanger is not the same as that of the Fitting to which it is to be connected.

SC120 Catref/Specref of struc_elem refers to a non-existent element

The SPREF for the named structural Section, Joint or Fitting does not point to a valid component in the Catalogue.

Positional Errors

SP010 Discrepancy between ends of Jlines: word of struc_elem_1 and word of struc_elem_2

The start/end of the Joining Line for the named Section does not have the same point location as the end of the Joining Line for the named Joint.

SP020 Positions of struc_elem_1 and struc_elem_2 misaligned

Self-explanatory.

SP030 struc_elem_1 lies off the beginning or end of owning Section struc_elem_2

The named Joint or Fitting, that is meant to be connected to the named Section, is not positioned within the derived length of the Section.

Directional Errors

SD010 Normal to Cutting plane word of struc_elem_1 is perpendicular to Neutral axis of struc_elem_2

This is equivalent to saying that the end-cutting plane of a Section through the point of connection is effectively parallel to the neutral axis of that Section. This is not possible, since the intersection point needed to define the position of the connection would then be at infinity.

SD020 Normal to Cutting plane word of struc_elem_1 is perpendicular to Origin plane of struc_elem_2

This is equivalent to saying that the end-cutting plane of a Section through the point of connection is effectively parallel to the origin plane of that Section. This is not possible, since the intersection point needed to define the position of the connection would then be at infinity.

SD030 Cutting planes word of struc_elem_1 and word of struc_elem_2 misaligned

The start and end cutting planes of the named elements are not parallel.

SD040 Check Beta angles of struc_elem_1 and struc_elem_2

The Beta Angle for the named Section should be the same as the Beta Angle for the connected Joint.

SD060 Normal to cutting plane word of struc_elem not in general direction of
other end of section

The start and end cutting plane normals should point in the general direction of the other end of the Section.

Eccentricity Errors

SE010 Struc_elem diverges from logical model: eccentricity out of range

The linear displacement between the Attached Neutral Points on the extended Neutral Axis of the named Section and the logical line joining the Node positions exceeds the permitted distance.

SE020 Struc_elem diverges from logical model: angle out of range

The angular deviation between the Neutral axis of the named Section and the logical line joining the Node positions exceeds the permitted amount.

Length Errors

SL010 Length of struc_elem is out of range. Actual length is ...

The derived length of the named Section is not within the permissible range applicable to its type.

SL020 Logical length of struc_elem is zero

Self-explanatory.
