&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;If you are trying to analyze a large model, you may need to &lt;/span&gt;increase the memory allocated to&amp;nbsp; STAAD.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;This means that the amount of memory allocated for holding input and output data like displacements, support reactions, beam &amp;amp; plates results for the analyzed cases is not enough for the problem size.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;As you can see from the above error message that 74 million 4 byte words are required to hold the data whereas only 60 million&amp;nbsp;is currently available. So we need to have a block size of about 80 million for this case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;If you still get the error message,&amp;nbsp;increase the memory block till the error message is eliminated.
