4-Story Wood Bearing Wall Structure (Other Walls) on Concrete Podium - Analysis Won't Run

Hello all,

I am modelling a podium building in RAM which consists of 4 stories of wood atop a concrete podium.  I have modelled the wood bearing walls as "Other Walls" to transfer gravity loads to the podium, so that I can import into Concept.  I also had planned on designating portions of the "Other Walls" to be lateral (and adjusting stiffness) so I can easily calculate the applied lateral forces into the wood shear walls.

However, when I run the basic concrete gravity analysis, the analysis is getting hung up about halfway through and I get a "(Not Responding)" on the software.  I've played around with the Direct/Sparse solver options to no avail.  It's a large footprint with many wall jogs, most of which I've modelled due to proximity to edge of slab.  Do you have any suggestions as to why the model won't run?  I will attach the model via Secure Upload if it helps solve the issue

Thank you very much for your time and help,

Mike
