DATE: January 2, 1996
DESCRIPTION:
Execution of the STIFFNESS ANALYSIS command or the static analysis split
solver commands will abort due to division by zero for models containing
plane curved elements (type = PCURV) under the following conditions:
1. Member loads are defined for the element(s).
2. Element properties for the plane curved elements are defined
using the section property specifications and giving values for
AX and IZ only.
Workarounds: Workarounds for the problem include specification of an
arbitrary value for the IX section property or using the
TABLE option for the specification of the curved element
properties.

GPRF No.: 96.02
DATE: January 5, 1996
DESCRIPTION:
The SOLVE FOR FATIGUE command will not execute to completion and
compute joint displacements if preceded by an eigenvalue analysis. This
will not be evident until a COMPUTE FATIGUE command is given, in which
case the following error message will be printed:
****ERROR_STFCHK -- COMPUTE FATIGUE RESULTS NOT
POSSIBLE. FATIGUE SOLVE NOT YET
PERFORMED.
Workaround: eigenvalue analysis results are not needed in the same job
that performs a fatigue analysis which includes the SOLVE
FOR FATIGUE and COMPUTE FATIGUE commands. Therefore,
perform the eigenvalue analysis and fatigue analysis in
separate jobs. Furthermore, do not perform a fatigue
analysis in a job that restores a save file that contains
the results of an eigenvalue analysis. If the eigenvalue
analysis and the fatigue analysis use the same structural
model, use the same sequence of commands that define the
model (JOINT COORDINATES, MEMBER INCIDENCES, MEMBER
PROPERTIES, etc.) in both the eigenvalue analysis job and
the fatigue analysis job.
