bug: Transformation not found

I am having trouble with the element definition of a 3D fiber section MRF model when I try to include more than 3 fiber sections.
The gravity and pushover analysis works fine when I restrict the model down to 3 fiber sections but runs into errors as soon as i go above three.
I only need 3 transformations - columns: P-delta; beams: Linear in x and z directions.

the error warning I get is:
CrdTransf *getCrdTransf(int tag) - none found with tag: 5
WARNING transformation not found
transformation: 5forceBeamColumn element: 20024

-------------------------
The error applies to any element that is assigned the 4th or greater section tag using the exact same transformation tag.

to trouble shoot I have tired the following:
1. build the same exact fiber section as one of the first 3 sections - this made no difference.
2. add the same number of 'redundant' geomtransformation as additional fiber sections (greater than 3) and assign it a tag of 4, 5, 6 etc. without assigning the transformation to any element. This works some of the time, strangely, the tags have to be sequential.

Any help would be much appreciated.

You are probably defining the inputs in the wrong order.

The tags do not have to be sequential. This is an input error on your part.

Many thanks mhscott!
This solved the issue.

I had accidentally switched the section tag with the transformation tag.
