6 Error: Zero or Negative Web Outstand in the Tee Section Adjust the mid height or the span so as to satisfy the condition. This is a limitation of the program calculation for the analysis and design of parabolilc shape. The mid height of the beam at Section and Span page is specified such that the parabolic mid height exceeds two times of the beam span. 5 Error: The parabolic mid rise shall not exceed 2.0 times Beam Span This is a limitation of the program calculation for the analysis and design of circular shape. The mid height of the beam at Section and Span page is specified such that the circular shape exceeds semi circle. 4 Error: The circular span shape exceeds semi circle Such condition affects the way the elements are considered as stiffened Modify the opening size or the depth of tee as required. The depth of the tee Fabrication Type page is specified such that the outstand of the web outstand is less than two times of the flange thickness. 3 Warning: Web outstand is less than 2.0 times thickness of flange - flange may not be stiffened Modify the opening size or the depth of tee as required. The depth of the tee Fabrication Type page is specified such that the outstand of the web outstand is less than the root radius. 2 Warning: Web outstand is inside the root radius of the Tee Section Check the span of the beam or effective buckling length and make the changes if required. This warning is to alert the user that this is unsual. The Effective Buckling Length at Supports and Restraints page is specified more than two times the span of the beam. # Error Reason Solution 1 Warning: Lateral buckling length detected greater than 2.0 times of beam span Leaving the start location blank for point load assumes the point load at midspan. For point loads, end location is not applicable.

Leaving the end cell blank assumes end location as horizontal length of the beam. Leaving the start cell blank assumes starting location as 0. Start / EndĮnter the start / end location of the corresponding load over the beam. For wind loads, the direction of the loads is vertical direction of the beam in case of circular and parabolic shape beams. The directions are vertical for all load types except Wind loads. IntensityĮnter the intensity of the load with respect to the load case and type. ▽ Load Type: Select load type as either distributed or point load from the drop down menu. ▽ Load Case: Select the load case from the drop down.

Alternatively, the user can copy and paste the data from an external source such as Microsoft Excel. This is a spreadsheet type input dialog - right click to add or delete rows. Click button to open the pop-up dialog to define the load details.
