I am trying to run the RAM concrete module for a building that has a partial podium slab at level 5 and a partial podium slab at level 4. I'm currently getting the error below, which is at an exterior other wall that is sitting on a concrete beam at level 5. I think I've properly checked that the wall and the beam line up correctly and I'm not sure what I need to fix, any help would be much appreciated!
There are some controls under Criteria - Analysis that might make a differnce, like consideration of walls from the story above, and including the out of plane stiffness for decks, as well as the meshing size. First I would try making the beams fixed.

I've fiddled around with these settings a bit but still can't seem to get it running. I'll upload my model for you to take a look at if possible.
I see your file. I'm testing a new version today, but the error is the same. If I can find a solution I'll update.
I can see the problem location. There is a wall on a beam, the beam is skewed and slightly longer than the wall.
Any deviation in the placement could lead to double nodes, instability etc.
Fixing that is tricky since the beam and wall are slightly skewed and not on grid. You can't use the align walls command directly unless you know the precise coordinate along the beam.
You might have to add a construction grid along the wall and remodel the beam along that grid, being careful not to snap to anything else.
I've created a fresh construction grid that isn't skewed, and remodeled both the wall (all the way up) and the beam and I'm still getting a similar error. I'll upload my model again. Is there anything else I should change?
