I want to design the concrete part of my structure using STAAD RCDC however after selecting the RSS file, RCDC says beam are missing and when I run the column design to it says that columns are missing. Any Idea how to fix this issue? It will be very beneficial to my work. Thank you very much.I will attach photos for reference and will be happy to send the RSS file if necessary.
We probably will need the files. You can use the Secure File Upload process to upload a RAM SS file. Also confirm your versions of both programs that are installed.
I have already uploaded the file. Versions I'm using are the ff: RCDC 9.1.1.4 RAM SS 17.0.1.9
This file is set up with ACI codes so the complete beam, column and wall design can be in Ram Concrete directly. I've only use the RCDC Export for Indian code designs. Are you trying import this into RCDC some other way?
I am indeed using ACI codes, my purpose of using RCDC for my design is to hasten up the design process since I am not that well versed yet in Ram Concrete. Thank you for the response sir.
Hi Christian Lee,
We have gone through your file and we found that there is special character in the name of a floor and story (ex: MP') which is causing this issue. So, removing this special character from the name of both floor and story data will run the file smoothly in RCDC.
