I am trying to run the pile cap/pile design with in RAM Foundation and I keeps saying NO DESIGN and giving me funny results.
Please advise
Make sure your pile capacities are defined and that you have assigned a reasonable pile configuration (i.e. don't use a 2 pile configuration if you have bi-axial bending). Otherwise we would need some more information (code, versions, etc), or send the file.

I checked everything you mention and still can not figure it out. I attached the project model for you to look at.
Under Criteria - Design - Pile/Pile cap you have the Pile Embedment depth set too large. It's typically just a few inches. You may also want to review the min pile cap thickness under Criteria - optimize. Finally, while these footings are not subject to shear, I think it's a good idea to assign some shear capacity to the piles, even if small.
