Issue with Load Stepping Lane Definition – Unexpected Station Range and Error 2207

Hello,

I’m currently working on defining traffic lanes for load stepping in SOFiSTiK.

My axis is 18 meters long, and the bridge section begins at station 5.0 m. However, when I check the report output, the lane seems to start at 0.0 m instead of 5.0 m, even though I followed the exact same structure as in the Slab-Bridge-Loadstepping example provided by SOFiSTiK.

I’m using the sa and se input to define the span explicitly, but I’m getting the following error:

+++++ error no. 2207 in program SOF_INP_SPUR ; input line: 11
Lane number AXIS too many station values or station values not ascending 18.000 5.000
+++++ error no. 10140 in program SOFILOAD
Input with 1 errors - calculation stopped

Despite defining the lane from 5.0 m to 18.0 m, the report still shows the lane starting at 0.0 m, which is not intended. Here’s a screenshot from the report viewer that illustrates the issue:

I would really appreciate any guidance on how to prevent SOFiSTiK from automatically including the full axis length and ensure the lane is only defined within the desired span.

Thanks in advance!

Forgot to add the code i wrote:
+prog sofiload urs:11.1
head

echo lane full

sto#start 5.00 $ Brua starter ved stasjon 5.0 m

lane “AXIS” type ec wl -4 wr 5 yla -5 yra 5
sa #start+0.0 se #start+13 $ F.eks. fra 5.0 til 5.5

end

The reason for this is that the input represents an ambiguous definition.
In the line with ‘LANE’, all tracks are initially defined over the entire length.
In the following line, in which only the inputs SA and SE are used, a lane is then defined again, but now only from 5-18 metres.
Solution: Define everything in one line or add a double-$ at the end of the first line.

Either
lane 'AXIS”'type ec wl -4 wr 5 yla -5 yra 5 sa #start+0.0 se #start+13
or
lane 'AXIS”'type ec wl -4 wr 5 yla -5 yra 5 $$
sa #start+0.0 se #start+1

Oh wow, that was an easy soulution. Thank you for the answer.
