Q: What does the message *** ERROR: Class XXX Has Bad Segment Lengths" mean?
REV 7.00

A: Multiple class commands are used to describe the various segments for the class, and you must specify the length of the segments, except for one, for beam elements. The length of the segment not specified is computed from the distance between the nodes, minus the specified segment lengths. The error message can indicate a few things:

• You have more than one class description using the same name, but did not specify any segment lengths.
• You read your model in to MOSES twice, once using &device -auxin root.dat, and once with the default root.dat file. In this case, there would normally be multiple errors.
• You specified -len for all the segments in the class.
