DESCRIPTION:
The PERFORM HARMONIC ANALYSIS command and the DYNAMIC ANALYSIS
MODAL
command for a harmonic loading may abort due to an isolated data base
management error. There is no known work around. However, there is only
one reported incidence of this problem and since 1987 when the harmonic
analysis feature was introduced, harmonic analysis has performed without
incident and produced correct results.

GPRF No.: 95.26
DATE: October 31, 1995
DESCRIPTION:
STEEL DESIGN
Following parameters may exhibit print problems when an alternate
real value is specified for a list of members in the PARAMETER command.
These parameters include:
BOLTTENS Applicable to TOWER and TOWER2 code.
TENFACT Applicable to TOWER and TOWER2 code.
UNLCFBF Applicable to ASD9 code.
UNLCFTF Applicable to ASD9 code.
When an alternate real value is specified for the above parameters,
the program tries to print the specified values as an alphanumeric value
rather than a real number. This will cause an unreadable value to be
printed. The three examples below illustrate this problem.
1. PRINT PARAMETER VALUES command. Section 2.10.1 of Volume 2A
Example:
PARAMETER
'CODE' 'TOWER' MEMBERS 1 TO 5, 10
12 18
'BOLTTENS' 75.0 MEMBERS 10 12 18
'TENFACT' 0.8 MEMBERS 1 TO 5
'CODE' 'ASD9' MEMBERS 21 TO 30
'UNLCFBF' 60.0 MEMBERS 24 TO 28
'UNLCFTF' 12.0 MEMBERS 24 TO 28
PRINT PARAMETER VALUES
2. SUMMARIZE command Section 2.9 of Volume 2A
Example:
PARAMETER
'CODE' 'TOWER2' MEMBERS 1 TO 10
'BOLTTENS' 75.0 MEMBERS 1 2 3
'TENFACT' 0.8 MEMBERS 5 TO 10
'CODE' 'ASD9' MEMBERS 11 TO 20
'UNLCFBF' 60.0 MEMBERS 14 TO 18
'UNLCFTF' 12.0 MEMBERS 14 TO 18
'SUMMARIZE' 'YES' ALL MEMBERS

CHECK MEMBERS 11 TO 20 AS BEAMS

3. Specifying a value of 2 or 4 for the parameter
VALUES Section 2. 1 of
Volume 2A
PARAMETER
'CODE' 'TOWER2' MEMBERS 1 TO 10
'BOLTTENS' 75.0 MEMBERS 1 2 3
'TENFACT' 0.8 MEMBERS 5 TO 10
'CODE' 'ASD9' MEMBERS 11 TO 20
'UNLCFBF' 60.0 MEMBERS 14 TO 18
'UNLCFTF' 12.0 MEMBERS 14 TO 18
'VALUES' 2 MEMBERS 1 15
'VALUES' 4 MEMBERS 7
CHECK MEMBERS 17 AS TRUSS
CHECK MEMBERS 15 AS BEAMS
Work Around:
When ALL MEMBERS option of the PARAMETER command is used, the output
from any of the above GTSTRUDL commands are correct.
Note: The problem is only in the output of these parameters. The
user specified values for the above parameters are correctly
used in the code check and design equations.
