Discussion

Optional. Controls the display of NM-TRAN warning messages and data error messages in the current and all subsequent problems until another $WARNING record appears. May appear anywhere in the control stream following $SIZES, $SUPER (if present) and $PROBLEM records, but cannot affect the display of warning messages associated with the records that precede it.

Options

NONE | n

NONE: suppress all warning messages.

n: sets WARNINGMAXIMUM=n, ERRORMAXIMUM=n, DATAMAXIMUM=n. Setting to 0 is equivalent to NONE.

LIST

Print a list of all possible warning messages. When this option is present, the control stream must consist only of the single record:

1

  $WARNING LIST

WARNINGMAXIMUM

Refers to general (non-data) warning messages. May also be coded WARNMAXIMUM and shorter substrings, e.g., WMAX, WARN. May appear more than once, with cumulative effect.

WARNINGMAXIMUM=NONE Suppress warning messages.

WARNINGMAXIMUM=n Each type of warning message will be displayed no more than n times (n >= 0). The default is 20.

WARNINGMAXIMUM=(list) The list is a series of integers n1 , n2 , n3 … ( ni >= 0 ). ni gives the the maximum number for the ith type of warning message.

NONE may coded for any ni if it is the last in the list. Sets the maximum number of messages for the ith and all higher-numbered messages to zero.

Example:

1

$WARNING     WMAX=1

Sets the maximum for all non-data messages to 1.

DATAMAXIMUM

Refers to data warning messages. May also be coded DMAXIMUM and shorter substrings, e.g. DMAX, DATA. May appear more than once, with cumulative effect. Forms and default are identical to those for the WARNINGMAXIMUM option.

ERRORMAXIMUM=n

Refers to data error messages. It can also be coded ERRMAXIMUM or EMAXIMUM, and shorter strings, e.g., EMAX. Each type of data error message will be displayed no more than n times (n>=0). The default is 20. Data error messages can never be totally suppressed. With n=0 and n=1, NM-TRAN displays the first data error message and then terminates.

Example:

1

 $WARNING EMAX=99999

Sets the maximum number of data error messages displayed from 20 to a much higher value, so that NM-TRAN will not terminate until all data error conditions have been identified.

RESET | NORESET

RESET: all counts reset to 0 with each new problem. This is the default.

NORESET: counts of how many times a given message has been displayed are accumulated over problems. (A new $WARNING record always resets all counters, but they will not be automatically reset again with subsequent problems.)

A $WARNING record with no options re-establishes all default conditions as if no $WARNING records had been present.
