  I have a problem of unconstrainted model with error " *** ERROR *** SUPPRESSED MESSAGE CP = 286.375 TIME= 17:51:27
  There are 2 small equation solver pivot terms (e.g., at the UX degree
  of freedom of node 20502). Please check for an insufficiently
  constrained model. "
  This is a half model of interior beam column joint. i am not sure how to fix it.
  
  from the J12_1.out file.

  in order to avoid using the hard drive as much as possible, which most
  often results in the fastest solution time. This mode is recommended
  if enough physical memory is present to accommodate all of the solver
  data.
