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.
After I added those two beams (using construction grids and snapping to the walls above) the analysis proceeded to the next floor. To work around the polygon errors on the 4th floor I just used the 24" deck over the whole floor and then it completed.
Any way you could send me the version of the model that's been fixed up? I still can't seem to get any progress on this?
My version of the application is a Beta, not fit for end users use. If you can't resolve it with the various tips above then I will have to revert my program and repeat the same in the release version. You are using 17.02.01.23, right?
Yep that's the version I have installed. I still haven't made any progress so if you get the chance to revert back and send it back to me that would be very helpful!
I am sending you a link for a revised version of the file. I added some grids, aligned some walls and so forth. The only thing that needs to be put back are the 2 decks besides the 24" main deck on L4.
