How to remove UBC/IBC Warning from STAAD analysis?

STAAD gives UBC/IBC warning in its output.


This error is because of not providing command "Change" in its input file after
Earthquake load definition.
Example

LOAD 1 LOADTYPE Seismic TITLE EQX


1893 LOAD X 1
LOAD 2 LOADTYPE Seismic TITLE EQZ
1893 LOAD Z 1
LOAD 3 LOADTYPE Dead TITLE DEAD LOAD
SELFWEIGHT Y -1

in above example it will show warning as below.

**WARNING: IF THIS UBC/IBC ANALYSIS HAS TENSION/COMPRESSION


OR REPEAT LOAD OR RE-ANALYSIS OR SELECT OPTIMIZE, THEN EACH
UBC/IBC CASE SHOULD BE FOLLOWED BY PERFORM ANALYSIS & CHANGE.

for this command as shown below should be used

LOAD 1 LOADTYPE Seismic TITLE EQX


1893 LOAD X 1
perform analysis
change
LOAD 2 LOADTYPE Seismic TITLE EQZ
1893 LOAD Z 1

perform analysis
change

LOAD 3 LOADTYPE Dead TITLE DEAD LOAD
