Error Messages
The following are possible error messages, their corresponding explanations and possible solutions. Only messages which are not self explanatory are elaborated upon. This list is not a comprehensive listing.
PCL Form Messages
Jobname "%A%" already exists. Do you want to overwrite (yes or no?)
Enter a jobname first!
Select a job first!
Error reading fin file!
Usually more information comes with this message. Check the jobname.fin file for improper parameter cards.
Error reading fnf file. Material information may not be complete!
When the jobname.fnf file is not read properly, materials spreadsheet on the Materials Info form does not get filled out completely.
Version number must be #2.5 or #3.0 on first line!
Check the jobname.fin file.
No equal sign in the following line:%A%
Check the jobname.fin file.
There is no 'ANALYSIS TYPE' defined!
Check the jobname.fin file.
The first parameter must be 'ANALYSIS TYPE'!
Check the jobname.fin file.
There is no 'FEA RESULTS LOCATION' defined!
Check the jobname.fin file.
The second parameter must be 'FEA RESULTS LOCATION'!
Check the jobname.fin file.
The %A%.fnf file does not exist. The material information will be incomplete!
When the jobname.fnf file is not read properly, materials spreadsheet on the Materials Info form does not get filled out completely.
File %A%.fnf is not a proper neutral file!
Check the format.
More materials defined in .fnf file than in  .fin file!
Only five materials are allowed. The program keys off of the set ID of neutral packet types 10 or 11. When an ID changes during a sequential read, it assumes that a new material is being defined. The IDs must be sequential also. Otherwise this message can occur. Those IDs encountered after five materials have been detected are ignored.
Time History %A% not found!
Check that the appropriate filename.dac file exists and that it has been loaded properly into the PTIME module. A file called ptime.adb should have the header information for the time history in it.
File %A% does not exist.
Materials Information not properly defined!
A job submission is not allowable until the materials information is filled out properly in the Materials Info form.
Load Information not properly defined!
A job submission is not allowable until the loading information is filled out properly in the Loading Info form.
There are no nodes in region %A%.
A nodal fatigue analysis has been detected but the group defined for analysis has no nodes in it.
There are no elements in region %A%.
An elemental fatigue analysis has been detected but the group defined for analysis has no elements in it.
Warning: The system environment variable p3fpath has not been set properly. No job submission or module spawning will be possible!
The MSC.Fatigue executable is not loaded on this computer system. Check that the environment variable p3fpath is set properly!
Check with your system manager to determine if you are licensed to run MSC.Fatigue on this machine and that all environment variables and paths have been set up properly.
No MSC.Patran FEA job has been specified!
No MSC.Patran FEA job.res file has been selected in the listbox on the Loading Info form.
Select a compliance function first!
No compliance function has been selected!
No filename.ksn file has been selected in the listbox on the Solution Parameters form for Crack Growth.
No compliance function template data exists. Run PKSOL!
Two files are created when plotting a compliance function. One contains the XY data (filename.xyd) and the other (filename.tem) contains PCL function calls to make the plot and plot the data. This is the template file and is created in PKSOL when a compliance function is created. PKSOL needs to be run and the compliance function redefined in order to create this file.
No compliance function XY data exists for %A%. Run PKSOL!
Two files are created when plotting a compliance function. One contains the XY data (filename.xyd) and the other (filename.tem) contains PCL function calls to make the plot and plot the data. If either one of these do not exist, PKSOL needs to be run and the compliance function redefined in order to create these files.
Plot template information not compatible with curve data. Plot may be in error!
When plotting compliance functions or sensitivity data two files are created. PKSOL creates an XY data file (filename.xyd) and a template file (filename.tem) containing PCL commands as does DESOPT. If this message occurs simply redefine the compliance function or replot the sensitivity data in DESOPT to recreate these files.
Select sensitivity data first!
The sensitivity x-y data file, %A%, does not exist. Run FEFAT!
Two files are created when plotting sensitivity data. One contains the XY data (filename.fal/rfl/...) and the other (filename.tem) contains PCL function calls to make the plot and plot the data. This is the template file and is created in FEFAT when sensitivity data is plotted. FEFAT needs to be run and the sensitivity data replotted in order to create these files.
Life results for a Component S-N job relate to the component or critical feature (e.g., a weld). Life contour plots may be misleading.
It is not recommended to make fringe plots of Component S-N jobs since component S-N results are based on an S-N curve of a specific geometry (such as a weld) whereas the rest of the structure’s fatigue life (such as away from the weld) will not follow that predicted by the S-N curve.
Do you wish to read in existing job '%A%'?
Delete job '%A%' and all associated files?
The material %A% is not iron or steel and therefore surface finish and treatments are invalid. They will be ignored in the analysis.
Steel is the only material in which surface finish and treatments are valid.
It is not necessary to select Time Steps. All Time 	Steps appearing in the Listbox will be used in the analysis. Use the Filter form to modify the contents of the Listbox.
All time steps appearing in the listbox will be used in a fatigue analysis using transient data. Use the Filter form to eliminate unwanted time steps or other unwanted results appearing in the listbox.
It appears that Jobname "%A%" is still running from a previous submittal. Do you still want to submit this job (yes or no?)
On submission of a fatigue analysis throughout the PCL forms, a file is created to signal that a job is running. If a job aborts unceremoniously, this file will not be deleted properly. It may be necessary for the user to manually delete it.
The PAT3FAT translation was not successful. No input file was created. Check the message file for possible problems.
Warning: A normal vector file "%A%.vec" has been detected. Do you wish to do surface stress/strain extraction? 
Shells and solids have been detected in the same group. Please separate them into distinct groups in order to calculate surface normals.
When calculating nodal normal vectors, only shell or only solid elements are allowed in the current group.
The "Current spectrum" as been set to "fatigue spectrum" for life contouring. Change it under "Display/Spectrums" if necessary.
When fatigue results are read into the database a new spectrum is created for plotting life results. Damage results and biaxial parameters should use the Standard Spectrum.
A biaxiality analysis has been requested but normal vectors have not been calculated to extract surface stress/strain. ("Calculate Normals" option in the "Control Job" form.) Are the stresses/strains already surface resolved (Y/N?)
Run the Calculate Normals option if surface stresses are required.
Translator (PAT3FAT) Messages
First argument must be the jobname!
PAT3FAT must have a jobname as the first argument. (e.g., pat3fat myjob)

Analyzers (FEFAT, PCRACK)
Only FES files with a revision level of 2.0 or greater are supported.
The jobname.fes file format changed after MSC.Fatigue version 1.0. Check to see that "File Revision = 2" in the ASCII format of jobname.fes file. Use FESTXT.
The number of load cases must be less than 40 and greater than zero.
This file contains one or more zero load values.
Something went wrong when defining the load cases. Redefine the job setup.
This file contains information for static load cases only. No damage will accumulate therefore processing is terminated. Static load cases are only allowed when mixed with dynamic load cases.
Make sure at least one load case has a load time history associated with it.
This file has an invalid analysis type. If you use the program FESTXT and examine the output file, the "Fatigue code" value in the header must be set to 1 for critical location analysis, 2 for component S-N analysis or 4 for material S-N analysis. Any other value is invalid.
Nodal strain data is only allowed in the "local strain" analysis. Stress data must be used for stress-life and critical location analyses.
The analysis type of this file is invalid. Only 0 for linear static and 1 for transient dynamic are allowed.
Check that the "Analysis Code = " either 0 or 1 for nodal data or 10 or 11 for elemental data in the ASCII form of the jobname.fes file. Use FEFAT.
Exiting due to lack of input.
Default not allowed.
Enter Yes or No !!
This is not a valid time history file.
Validate the DAC file using PTIME; check to see that there are cycles (peaks and valleys) in the file.
Maximum and minimum of this signal are the same. This file cannot be cycle counted.
There are no peaks and valleys in the time history.
The sample rate of all time histories must be identical.
Use PTIME to change the sample rate.
The number of values in all time histories must be identical.
Use PTIME graphical editor or X-Y point editor to adjust length of all P(t)s to be identical. This can be accomplished by just extending the length out to be identical.
The same time history cannot be used for different load cases.
Time history not found in database - run PTIME.
Incompatible loading type - run PTIME.
The load type is defined in the jobname.fes file for each load case. The load time history supplied must have the same load type as that expected by FEFAT. Load type can be changed using PTIME. In some cases, deleting the ptime.adb and ptime.mdb files and re-loading all the *.dac files in PTIME can clear this problem.
Incompatible units - run PTIME.
The unit type is defined in the jobname.fes file for each load case. The load time history supplied must have the same load type as that expected by FEFAT. Units can be changed using PTIME units conversion capability. In some cases, deleting the ptime.adb and ptime.mdb files and re-loading all the *.dac files in PTIME can clear this problem.
A value must be entered.
The number of fatigue equivalent units must be positive.
