This message occurs during the solving on mesh elements of poor quality, the so-called flat elements. It does not prevent the solving but could deteriorate the result accuracy on the given elements. If the obtained results seem accurate, you could ignore this warning. If not, you should improve the mesh in the pointed zones.
