DESCRIPTION:
Under certain circumstances, TYPE STRUCTURAL WALL design can "freeze"
GTSTRUDL during a PROPORTION command. A non-terminating iteration is
entered and the user must halt (abort) the execution of GTSTRUDL and all
data is lost.
There is no work-around, but this problem is rare, with one reported
instance.

DESCRIPTION:
When performing an elastic buckling analysis (PERFORM BUCKLING ANALYSIS
command) with more than five active loadings, a value of 0.0 will be output
for the Buckling Multiplier for the loads beyond the first five active
loadings or an abort may occur.
Workaround:
Peform the buckling analysis for only five active loadings in each
execution. Do not use the Load List command due to GPRF 93.25 still being
open.

DESCRIPTION:
The scope environment OVERLAY DIAGRAM/ENVELOPE command may abort if
the active loading conditions contain no member loads. A workaround is to
explicitly specify the number of sections using the SECTION command prior
to entering the scope environment and performing the OVERLAY operation. An
example of the SECTION command is given as follows:
SECTION FR DS 0.0 0.05 $ Produces 21 sections.
