Message
Joint found that is unrelated to a member system.
Severity
Normal.
Detailed Description
An Axis Joint provides the logical connectivity between one or more structural member systems. The lifetimes of the axis joints are controlled by the connected member systems; hence, when the last member system connected to one of these axis joints is deleted, the joint is also deleted.
For this error to occur, the axis joint was not removed when the last connected member system was removed.
Possible Cause
The axis joint should have been removed when:
-
The last connected member system is removed.
-
A member axis-along frame connection is modified to be an axis-end type frame connection causing two member systems to share a single axis joint.
Possible Impacts
This problem is benign and only indicates that the database contains data that needs to be removed.
What You Should Do
The axis joint is an internal object that cannot be manipulated directly through the user interface. The only action for this type of error is to force the deletion of this object via the provided Clean Database custom command.
