Not sure what or why this error is occurring but it seems to happen when I incorporate steel design parameters into the model. I've looked at recent posts and tried increasing the Memory, along with removing the Load List commands but it does not seem to work. any help is appreciated.
Please attach that STAAD model here if possible. Also, let us know the exact STAAD.Pro version being used.
Hi,
I am currently using STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition - Version 21.00.02.43
I built a simple model for reference

The FIXED GROUP should be located ahead of the GROUP command. Also if you are using FIXED GROUP, you need to use SELECT OPTIMIZED as opposed to SELECT. A modified file is attached for your reference.
