Hi, I've got a RAM model with some concrete gravity walls. When I try to run the RAM Concrete analysis I get an error message stating "Tolerance error at coordinates ("1350,360,396). Check if all members at this coordinate are aligned." At the coordinate given, the only members are two concrete walls, one on top of another. The error is in the lower wall as the analysis for the story containing the wall on top proceeds correctly, its the lower story that always crashes.
I assume this is a meshing error, as when I adjust the maximum distance between nodes the coordinates given change slightly. The FE mesh for the lower wall is also very abnormal. The elements are all sized and shaped differently even thought the wall is a rectangle with no openings what-so-ever. The same sized wall to the right of this one works perfectly.
Nothing I've done has corrected this. If you have any advice, or need any extra information just let me know. Thanks,
Richard
