A 2D part design that I had you fabricate now shows errors in the analyzer. File attached. I'd like to modify and order similar designs, but first need clarification on these new errors. The errors indicate that 6061 is not available for 2D design, and that bends will fracture. Neither were a problem when you accepted my order and delivered a few months ago.

Thank you for looking into this.
Doug

We are continually improving the analyzer. As a result, sometimes the results of the analyzer will change. The current analyzer result is correct in advising to change material to 5052.

Please clarify. Am I advised, or would the order be rejected? I need 6061 for its material properties. The analyzer generates a quote and delivery schedule. Not sure whether the "error" is advice or something more serious. Are the price and delivery quotes valid? Thank you.

You must use 5052 for your design. We would not run the job in 6061.
