Problem Description
The following message appears in a black DOS window when attempting to run an analysis in RAM Elements or a design in one of the design modules:
OMP: Warning #72: KMP_Affinity: affinity only supported for Intel processors.
OMP: Warning #71: KMP_Affinity: affinity not supported, using "disabled"
Reason
The direct sparse solvers used by RAM Structural System and RAM Elements utilize multiprocessing libraries provided by Intel. The libraries function properly with Intel processors but not with AMD processors.
Solution
The error has no effect on the analysis. The error window can be safely minimized and ignored. If the error window is closed, however, the program will crash.
In the main program, you can also change to the in-core direct solver to avoid the error.
The solver type cannot be changed in the modules. You will need to minimize and ignore the error window to prevent a crash from occurring.
An update for Ram Elements is planned for May 2014 that will automatically switch to the in-core solver when anything other than an Intel processor is detected. This should help to avoid the problem for the main analysis and also within Ram Elements modules.
