Hello everyone,

I get the following warning message during the analysis, can anyone help me rectify in this?

"For 1489 beam elements either the average curvature about the local 1-direction differs by more than 0.1 degrees per unit length as compared to the default curvature or the approximate integrated curvature for the entire beam differs by more than 5 degrees as compared to the approximate integrated default curvature. This may be due to a user-specified normal or due to the nodal averaging routine used by Abaqus. This difference may cause unexpected behavior of the beam and you may want to verify that the beam normals are correct for your problem. The elements have been identified in element set WarnBeamCurvature1"

Thanks,
BT
