What does this warning message mean?

*** WARNING *** SUPPRESSED MESSAGE CP = 464.562 TIME= 09:42:08
Element order list length 4557 does not match number of selected
elements 4632
New order vector being created.


This message usually means that the selected set of elements has changed, and the solve command has been issued again. You will have to determine if the results are valid or not, depending on these criteria:

(1) If the solve after changing the selected set is intended to find results independent from the first set, then you are probably safe. It would be better, however, to separate these analyses out into separate input files or DBs.

(2) If the solve after changing the selected set is intended to find results subsequent to the first set, then this is probably an invalid method. In this case, element birth-and-death is a better option, the details for which can be found in Chapter 13 of the Advanced Guide.

(3) If the change in selected sets only involves MESH200 elements, then you are probably safe either way. If this is not the case, option 1 or 2 is required here.
