Rerun the model using standard solver. Software will identify the coordinates at which warnings are originating. Then you maybe able to determine the reason for a particular warnings.

I did it but it took a lot of time . I used standard solver , and waited for 45min but it 's still not run.
I made the model again carefully but I still received this message again .
Do you know the main cause ? or your friend know?

45 min is quite a lot of time. Either your system is very slow or your model is very heavy. Did you use very small size of mesh for the area elements? What version of ETABS are you using?

Not I or anyone else could guess the reason for a particular warning unless we know what's the warning is about.

Nevertheless, most newbies make a muddle of area meshing which results in excessive warnings. So I'll hazard a guess and say area meshing is most probably the culprit.

oh thank you , but maybe it'snot the cause , my meshing 's good .
My model has a Transfer beam (0.8x1.8). are there any problem about restraint between Column , Transfer beamm, and Wall system above ??

Well as I said earlier, I couldn't guess unless I know the nature of warning.

To reduce the analysis running time, what you could do is, make separate models for each story (delete everything else but the story under consideration). The idea behind this is to reduce the number of dof's so that running time could be reduced. This will also help you in identifying and eliminating the warnings floor by floor.

After identifying the warnings, you can then make changes in your main model accordingly.

It might help if you provide views of those parts of your model which think are the cause of the warning.

hello , I did cut off 31 stories above . after running , the negative eigenvalues reduced , only 230 instead of 4981 .
This is the first story above the transfer beam . What happening with that walls ?? . Is it the reaseon ? The picture and the file afte I cut off the stories below . Can you have a look ?

DO you know the meanings of these ? I 've already assigned restraints .
I made many models by the same way , but this is the first time I 've faced this problem
please help me

Yes, look at those locations for your instabilities.

x=42875
y=19000
z=119900

x=72620
y=21675
z=11100

The program is telling you that the model is essentially unrestrained / unstable at these locations. I don't know why. Maybe a connectivity problem, maybe a problem with the meshing, or boundary conditions.

oh I see it , most of these joints are located on the wall . These joints 're at the position which I meshed .
I used Auto mesh option to mesh( Mesh size is 1m for floor and wall , I also add restraint on edge for wall ) .
I made another model before and It's find . But this model has this problem , I even made it two times.
Why did these joints lose accuracy? How to resolve it ?
Can anyone give me a suggestion ?

Try adding in a "Dummy member" at those locations. Something that will help connect those joints to the walls that they're supposed to connect to.

My tendency would be to use a member made of the same material as the wall that is square and of the same thickness of the wall. Just so that any load going to those joints will then reasonably transfer to the other joints connected to the member along that line.

What did you define in your area type? "shell-thin" or "membrane"?

Also, are these dots near upper grids unsupported joints/points?

Just curious, what exactly are these red walls? Are there any columns at this story? Are these walls only between some floors or are they running from the base to the roof?

Quote:

I also add restraint on edge for wall

I don't think adding edge constraint is necessary, since you're using auto mesh.
As far as I know, edge constraint is usually added between the area elements with different mesh sizes.

I choose Shell-thick for slab and wall.
My model has column system run from the second Base to the Story 3 . And I have the Transfer beam at this Story ( to transmit loads from walls to columns). From the story 3 to the Roof is Wall system . besides, I also reduced the hardness of Wall every 10 story . I also have 2 Wall Core system run from Base to Roof.

If I were you, I would delete all these red walls and provide columns here just to check if the rest of the model is working fine and the walls are the only elements that causing problems. This way I can focus all my energy in finding out why walls are behaving in this odd fashion.

From your warnings, I agree with JoshPlumSE that,

yes , I did cut off the story has red walls. there are only 3 stories which have columns , beams, and Wall core.
I checked and these joints appeared on the Wall Core , at the position I meshed . That are faded joints , how can I choose and fix it ?
I deleted Wall Core and drawed it again , assign restraints at the base , auto mesh . But the problem still happened .
I ran another model but it was still ok . dont know why the problem appear . Feeling no way to fix

I did post 2 files above.

the first file is the original version
the second file is after I cut of stories to run Standard solver .
I really need help :((

Don't you have a supervisor to guide you?

my tutor teacher ran that file in his computer and its fine . I ran it again and the problem still there . If my computer has problem so why another model shows fine result .

There's a lookdown in my state and I'm bored enough at home that I would have checked your model if I had Etabs at my home computer.
So I really can't help you in this regard.

Hello . I tried to not meshing WaLL and the Model showed Period , Ux, Uy , Rz .
Was the result reliable ? We usually mesh Wall and Run and analyse mode shape
