List of issues in CYPE 3D

Listed below are some of the issues that may occur in the program. By clicking on any of the links provided, you can find a detailed explanation of each problem and recommendations on how to fix it:

• One of the elements of the continuous beam forms an angle greater than 80 with the horizontal plane.
• The column cannot form part of a braced frame.
• The braced frame has not been completely entered.
• The bar in tension is not associated with a completely braced frame.
• The length of the bar is less than the minimum permitted length.
• The element must be vertical, with its local x axis in the ascending direction.
• The element is not defined between two levels.
• The beam cannot form part of a braced frame.
• The sections assigned to the two bars in tension composing the braced frame must be identical.
• A node has been found that is not connected to a bar or a shell.
• A tie cannot have intermediate nodes.

The following errors and warnings are displayed when using the “Check elements” or "U.L.S. checks" options on the top toolbar of the "Analysis" tab

• The compression axial force is excessive and exceeds the critical buckling axial forces.
• The compression axial force is excessive and exceeds the plastic axial resistance.
• The tensile axial force is excessive and exceeds the plastic resistant axial force.
• It is not possible to carry out the check, as the shear is excessive and overcomes the resistance of the section. Therefore, it is not possible to check the interaction between bending and shear.
• An error has occurred; the slenderness of the bar is greater than the limit slenderness.
• The fire resistance check has been omitted
