Maximum Shear in the Span of Member Warning (Bug 2172)

In the case where a beam is designed where the maximum shear value is in the span of the member rather than at a support, the following warning message appeared upon beam design:

"Warning: the maximum shear value is in the span of the member rather than at a support. This can occur when opposing loads are applied in the same span. WoodWorks cannot correctly desgin for this situation. Please refer to shear diagram

In the analysis diagram for shear, the diagram had the following note:

"Design shear < maximum due to notching or loads ignored within distance "d" of supports without notches".,

which contradicts the warning message .

The program in this case did not perform bearing design, despite the fact that reactions were calculated correctly.

The max shear in span is now detected and used for shear during shear design. The warning no longer appears. Bearing design is performed.
