Analysis warning using RCJointModel3D

[VITTORIA]

Dear STKO team,

I have some questions about RCjoint.

I am working on a RC frame, and in order to assign RCJoint, I followed these steps:

1) Create uniaxial material (pinching4);
2) Create special purpose (RC beam column joint Model3D; -- Selection of the vertex and drag and drop;
3) Create Element (RC joint Model 3D Element,) -- Select the special purpose and drag and drop.

If I recall correctly one of your last webinar on the matter, I understood that the newest version of STKO would have allowed to automatically recognize the dimension of the nodes without specifying Lx, Ly and Lz. Is that correct?

I am currently using the newest version of the software but it seems that I need to specify the dimension of the nodes. Using the element properties RCJoint, it asks me Lx, Ly and Lz. Might be this be for some improper use of the new functionality?

Moreover, when attempting to run the program, it shows the following error:

I tried to download the file of the webinar (01/06/2020) where these things have were explained, but also in this case I seem to incur in the same error.

Could you please help me with this? Did the approach to create RCjoint change for the newest version?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Dear Vittoria,
The generation of the node is automatic but you still have to input Lx, Ly and Lz. We prefer to keep this option open for users, maybe in the future we will implement also this functionality.

Dear Clarabella,

thank you for the answer, I'll input Lx,Ly and Lz. But still I have the same error when I use RcJointModel3D.

I downloaded the webinar #010 and I got the same error (Please find attached the figure).

How can I solve this?
