[39Tech]

Can some explain this error. I have never seen it or experienced it before. 

 

Didn't have this problem before update 5. this is new to me.

Please post a sample file so that the collective can take a look.

Here is a sample file 

 

I have had all of my 12" truss failing this simple calculation.  I didn't BWX pref for this run. is this in the knew settings?  I didn't have any problems with 4. 

Tomcat Fail calc .vwx

 

I did submit the OF file through the support link. I am away from my beta version to test there on the road at the moment. 

 

thanks.

I'm not seeing the same issue. What settings are in your braceworks preferences?

 

[39Tech]

 even with these settings Or the stock settings it would cause the failure.  I was working in a different drawing and Tyler Truss stopped work which makes me think I a have a software problem. Going to the do a software restore.  Just finding it a weird set of circumstances.  What does the DZZ Not Right Support error mean.  

 

 

 

 

Yeah so I completed the software repair and still having the problems.   Did a library refresh and no change.   So I am confused.  

 

Thnx-

I don't think this has anything to do with the calculation settings, the XX, YY look like they are something to do with the truss cross section data, are you using a custom cross section?
I can't tell by looking in your file since custom cross sections do not get exported with a file since they are locked to the computer they were created on.

As @Scott C. Parker said I can't reproduce the issue either but that would be expected if its a corrupted cross section that's causing the problem.

If you arn't using a custom cross section its possible that the cross section database for Bracworks has gotten corupted or damaged,
It should be in
application folder\Plug-Ins\VW_Spotlight\Data\Braceworks

Try replacing it and see if that helps

Thank you guys for looking in to this.  I will see what I can figure out with Cross section data.  

[JustinVanHassel]

@39TechAre you using the shipped Rigid Cross Section data that was linked to the Tomcat truss or did you make a custom cross section or even a custom cross section XML file?

I have seen this before I don’t remember exactly when. But I think it is a symbol level issue.

I could not fix the problem with any Updates or repair...The system is good now with a complete wipe of the software and reinstall. thanks guys.
