Answer


To obtain this validation error you will have created your own user defined section within the Material Section database but incorrectly defined the minor axis moment of inertia property and then subsequently used the section in the model. Following an analysis the validation error would be displayed.

The resolution steps are the same as an existing article “I have a Validation > Analysis > General > “Section major axis moment of inertia is invalid” error. Why do I get this and how do I resolve it?

Simply replace the amendment made to the major axis moment of inertia in the above article for the minor axis moment of inertia
