Comprehensive Consistency Check

Microstran performs an automatic check of all input data prior to analysis. The consistency check will detect a range of modelling problems related to geometry and loading. Data errors and warnings are shown in the output window and are also written to the error report, which can be listed and printed using options on the File menu.

The results of a consistency check are shown above. This output was produced by a consistency check on the model shown in "Common Modelling Problems", a section of Chapter 4 of the User's Manual.
