I recently had to modify my model due to some design changes. When I run RAM Frame load case everything looks ok. At the load combination stage it again looks ok, but the light stays red. I am able to progress to the standard steel code checks, the seismic provisions and the drift module. Everything seems ok, but it seems this is not the case. Any suggestions?
Thank you.
There are 3 different sets of load combinations in RAM Frame Analysis - Load Combination mode: custom, strength, and service. The custom combinations are intended to be used for results reporting for all models. The strength and service combinations are only used for the Advanced Analysis (slender wall analysis for the tilt-up wall workflow) added in Version 17. If you have defined strength and service load combinations, the red status light will be displayed until you run the Advanced Analysis (Process - Advanced Analysis). If you are not designing tilt-up walls, you should only define custom combinations. When doing so, you should see the status light turn green if those combinations are checked to be used.
