Description |
|
Feedback |
The status indicator allows you to see at a glance whether the system meets safe compliance limits. Green indicates there are no errors or overloaded supports/cross sections, yellow indicates caution as safe limits are being approached, and red means there are critical problems or overload conditions. If the indicator is blank, the information is insufficient. Beneath the indicator, the system status is described as unsolvable (with errors preventing calculation), solvable, or it does not have any data. The system must be considered solvable, with no critical errors, for calculations to occur. A solvable system may still have serious errors that must be addressed; for example, a hoist or cross section could be dangerously overloaded, as evidenced by the solvable calculation. |
