STAAD Commands and Input Instructions
Section 5
5-22
5.9 Ignore Specifications
Purpose
This command allows the user to provide member lists in a
convenient way without triggering error messages pertaining to
non-existent member numbers.
General format:
IGNORE LIST
Description
IGNORE LIST may be used if the user wants the program to
ignore any nonexistent member that may be included in a member
list specification. For example, for the sake of simplicity, a list of
members may be specified as MEMB 3 TO 40 where members 10
and 11 do not exist. An error message can be avoided in this
situation by providing the IGNORE LIST command anywhere in
the beginning of input. A warning message, however, will appear
for each nonexistent member.
