Question

Hi, 
 I have done the Data check of my model in RAM Modeller nut when I'm using the Frame of Concrete Module I'm getting notice about "illegal framing configuration on beam XXX" 
 Please advise.

In general, see RAMSS Common Framing Table Errors 
 In your case, I see a few things that are problematic. 
 1. if you are using an one way deck areas, those areas need to be completely framed, i.e. a perimeter of beams or walls along the edges of the one way deck polygons and all the interior framing should be interconnected. 
 more here: Effects of Changing Deck Type 
 2. I don't usually like mixing one and two-way decks in the same diaphragm because once you use some two-way decks the whole diaphragm gets meshed, and the transitions from one way to two way loading is complex. 
 3. To solve the problem at hand you'll need to add beams to complete the slab edge perimeter and some additional beams to close the gaps between closely spaced columns or walls with small breaks at the corners ( or just make all decks 2-way). More on two way decks here: RAMSS Two Way Decks

It looks like one of your stub cantilevers is supported on the wrong end. Use this tool to reverse the support end (or delete an replace)

Here's a working version of the file (15.09 format). I added grids, moved everything over a 1000 feet and re-framed most of the cantilevers to be on grid. I also removed one grid that was a fraction of an inch form another and re-aligned the columns to the remaining grid.
