I'm trying to analyze a mat foundation by importing load cases from STAAD Pro but I get "Out of memory" message at the end of the run. I know that in STAAD Pro V8i I can add a line of code in the STAAD editor at the top when having memory issues, "MEMORY 90". I tried to attach the STAAD Pro and STAAD Foundation files I'm using along with a word document of the message and versions of both software I am using but I can not see if they actually got attached.
Thanks,
Russ
It was not attached. Try to add both models into an archive (zip it) and attach it again.

First and foremost, I would suggest that you try this with the latest version of SFA 08.02.00.31. This version addresses lot of issues noted in earlier versions. Couple of other things. Please remember to check the box Use Soil Spring under Analysis Properties > Soil Property . Also please ensure that the self weight is turned on for all the cases which would help in quicker convergence and prevent unnecessary iterations of the analysis. I was able to finish the analysis in my machine without this memory error. I am using the latest version of SFA.
