Exception[access violation]Raised! Aborting Analysis.....

Question

Hello, 
 I try to run the analysis and CODE CHECK with a LOAD LIST using AISC 360-10 on a pretty big STAAD model and I receive the error message "Exception[access violation]Raised! Aborting Analysis....." 
 I have read other post on this forum relating that problem on which it says that it should be fixed with the release 20.07.10.65. However, I use release 20.07.10.66 and SS? and I still got that problem. If I reduce the number of load cases in the LOAD LIST command, STAAD complete the analysis. I would like to know how I can run the analysis and CODE CHECK for all the load cases specified. You will find my STAAD.Pro model attached. 
 Thanks in advance,

I got a memory overflow error when analyzing the file which is little different than what you got. So I added the Memory command as shown next at the beginning of the file and reanalyzed the file 
 
MEMORY 100 
STAAD SPACE 
START JOB INFORMATION 
ENGINEER DATE 29-Sep-15 
END JOB INFORMATION 
INPUT WIDTH 79 
… 
 
The analysis and design then ran fine. However I am using the latest STAAD.Pro 20.07.11.33 in which the design code routines have been further optimized to improve memory utilization. 
 
If you upgrade to the latest version, you should be able to design with all the load cases as part of the LOAD LIST. However in the older version that you are using, you may need to break up the CHECK CODE ALL command into a series of CHECK CODE MEMB … commands such that each block designs about 300 members.

The model runs fine in STAAD.Pro CE 22.08.00.175, so if you are not using this version yet, you may need to upgrade and check again.
