Duggans File Transfer - Error / warning messages
Not version-specific
Tekla Structures
Environment
Not environment-specific
Any flagged errors must be corrected or the relevant part deselected, before running the file transfer again. Warnings may be the result of mistakes in the model or parts deliberately defined in a non-standard way. If there is a mistake, then correct the model before running the file transfer again. Otherwise, you should check that Duggan Steel is prepared to manufacture the non-standard parts before sending the order.
| Warning message | Description | Remedy |
|---|---|---|
| Face not found {name of face} in {profile name} | There is a face in the file that does not correspond with a face on the part. | This could mean there is a problem with the standard files, customers should contact Tekla support. |
| {profile name} Hole or Bolt defined outside the part: {part mark} | If the hole/bolt falls outside the part then this error will be issued. | Check the model for holes outside the part. Either move the hole so it is intersecting the part or delete the hole. |
| Hole removed due to sharing space with a longer slot {hole diameter} , {distance along the member},{distance up the member} | If a hole is found to share its location with a longer slot then this error will be issued. | The software will remedy this conflict. To remove the warning, one of the holes must be deleted. |
| Hole removed due to sharing space with a square hole {hole diameter} , {distance along the member},{distance up the member} | If a round hole is found to share its location with a square hole then the round hole will be removed. | The software will remedy this conflict. To remove the warning one of the holes must be deleted. |
| Hole/Slot conflict {hole diameter} , {distance along the member},{distance up the member} | This is caused by a hole and slot sharing the same space. | Remove either the hole or slot. |
| Hole slotted in two directions {hole diameter} , {distance along the member},{distance up the member} | The Duggan Steel system currently does not allow a hole to slot in both directions. | Change the hole so it is slotted in only one direction. |
| Invalid cleat: {profile name} | The cleat attached to this part is not valid according to the data files. | Produce a drawing to support the order or re-apply the macro and make no changes to the cleat. |
| Notches found in part {part mark} | Notches were not expected for the part, non standard. | Produce a drawing to support the order. |
| {profile name}: No match found in standard file | The profile can not be found in the standard file. | Either the part is missing from the file or the part has been altered in such a way that it is no longer standard, in which case a drawing should be produced to support the order. Contact Tekla support for more information. |
| {profile name} Invalid length {length in the model}: Length allowed Min:{minimum allowed length} Max:{maximum allowed length} | The part length is outside the range specified by Duggan Steel. | Either lengthen or shorten the part, or speak to Duggan Steel to discuss options. |
| Slotted hole shorter than shortest cutter found {hole type} | Duggan's use multiple punches to create slotted holes. If the shortest punch is 20mm and a slot of 12 mm is modelled then this error will be issued as the punches can not achieve this. | Make the slot longer or remodel it as a series of holes. |
| Square hole removed due to sharing space with a larger diameter round hole {hole diameter} , {distance along the member},{distance up the member} | This is caused when a round hole and a square hole share a location but the round hole is big enough to encompass the square hole causing the square hole to be ignored. | The software will remedy this conflict. To remove the error, one of the holes must be deleted. |
| Sub Items do not match required items in standard file: {profile name} | This warning occurs when something has been attached to a part that is not standard. For example, invalid cleats at the end of a strut. | Produce a drawing to support the order, as this is a non standard part. |
| Sub item is not listed in the standard file: {sub parts profile name} - {main member profile name} | This warning occurs when the sub item attached to the part is not in the standard file. For example, if a cleat is not a standard Duggan's cleat. | Produce a drawing to support the order. |
