Hi,I am having a problem wanting to run the RCDC for a concrete retaining wall.When I want to run the software, the poster shown below appears:

Thanks in advance,

RCDC can only read walls modelled using parametric modelling method. To know how to do that refer below link. the video describes the workflow to accomplish that.

Thank you very much, Abhisek M. I followed your steps and was able to open the RCDC successfully and analyze the wall, however I cannot do the same with its footing, which I modeled as a slab element.
The software shows me the following poster:
The slab does not have beams, since it´s the footing of the wall.How can I continue since I do not intend to add beams to the system?Attached file:MURO CONTENCIÓN.STDThanks in advance!Ignacio
I understand you are tryin to design raft foundation here. Please note, RCDC is not capable of handling raft. You need to use RCDC FE for this.
A retaining wall, basically.
Anyway, is there any way to model the base of the retaining wall as a slab without beams or even as a horizontal wall? I do not have the RCDC FE license.
Thanks!
