Code Check in RAM Frame is crashing my file

Question

When attempting to run code check of steel in RAM Frame module, RAM crashes. Computer prompts "RAMContainer MFC Application has stopped working"

You might have to send the file, but here are a few things to check. 
 1. In the analysis mode, are the member forces reasonable (i.e. not junk values)? You can also review deflected shape. If the analysis results are junk, that accounts for the crash, and then we have to evaluate if the meshed model has any geometric problems or instabilities to cause the bad results. 
 2. If the analysis results are all OK, then check just one member using the code check report. If some members are OK, but others cause a crash that's a good clue.

If you are using 15.03 it might be this issue: https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki/31109/incorrect-foundation-loads-under-multi-story-braces

Seth Guthrie · Answer

Basically the brace force components are missing from our story shear calculations for any levels that the braces skip. See this for more: communities.bentley.com/.../ram-frame-building-and-frame-story-shear
