SAFE - Area Loss Error

Hey Everyone,

I've been modeling slabs in SAFE, and each time I am getting area load loss errors. Some times the value of the loss is positive or negative.

I've made sure that I am not placing load over openings by investigating the shells causing the loss.

I haven't found any explanation on this error, and in particular why it occurs and what a positive or negative loss means.

Are there any documentations / discussions out there that can help?

Thanks,
CivilSigma
