Typical warning message from LUSAS Solver text output file (*.OUT):
***WARNING*** LARGEST
NODE NUMBER IN NODE COORDINATES EXCEEDS LARGEST IN ELEMENT
NODES
This message is generally no cause for concern and
is usually output when local coordinate attributes have been defined
in Modeller. The creation of a local Cartesian coordinate system
in Modeller will require the generation of three additional nodes
which define the directions of the local X and local Y axis to be
passed to Solver. These nodes do not belong to any finite
elements within the model and hence the message is produced in the
Solver output file. When the message is received it is
recommended that the Solver data file (*.dat) be opened in a standard
text editor and the nodal coordinate list examined. Nodes which
do not belong to finite elements but are included for local coordinate
system definitions are written at the end of the nodal coordinate list
as in the following example:
C NODES GENERATED FROM LOCAL COORDS SET 1
536 0.00000000000000E+00 0.00000000000000E+00 0.00000000000000E+00
537 -1.00000000000000E+00 -1.22460635382238E-16 0.00000000000000E+00
538 1.22460635382238E-16 -1.00000000000000E+00 0.00000000000000E+00
In this example three nodes have been defined at (0,0,0), (-1,0,0)
and (0,-1,0) signifying that the local X and Y axes are in an opposite
direction to the global X and Y axes.
