Warning in Abaqus related to Tie Constraint

I am trying to model the behavior of a rigid container under sinusoidal shaking event. The container is made of different parts. So I assembled all those parts together. And I added Tie constraint during my sinusoidal motion step. Everything looks fine and the only warning that confuses me is that:

IF SIGNIFICANT CLEARANCE/OVERCLOSURE EXISTS BETWEEN SURFACE PAIR (ASSEMBLY__T0_End Wall_0309-1_S,ASSEMBLY__T0_End Wall_0309-1_M) AND THE MASTER SURFACE DOES NOT HAVE ROTATIONAL DEGREES OF FREEDOM, ADJUSTMENT IS RECOMMENDED FOR CORRECT ENFORCEMENT OF THE TIE CONSTRAINT

First, I do not think there is any clearance/overclosure between the surface pair, at least during my define process. Or will there be clearance/overclosure caused by the load? How can I check that part?

Second, in my boundary condition part, I did not assign any boundary condition of rotation to any surface, which means the master surface should have rotational degrees of freedom.

Thanks in advance.
