RAM Steel "Fatal Error: No Beam Loop Intersection Found"
RAM Steel "Fatal Error: No Beam Loop Intersection Found"
(OP)
I am aware that this is a steel forum but I couldn't find a RAM forum. Plus I figured most steel people have some familiarity with RAM. Steel.
I keep getting this error. I've emailed the RAM/Bentley guys and they are still trying to figure it out.
Has anyone ever gotten this? I've checked my loading, geometry, etc, and can't find anything. Also my Data Check reveals nothing...
Thanks.

Does the error occur on the same member number every time? If so, do a quick 'renumber members' and see if the error occurs on the same member (with the new number). Once you find the member that's a problem, take a close look - if this is the error I think it is, it happens when the beam is very close to (but not exactly) orthagonal. Deleting and re-adding the beam using zero-distance modeling should fix the problem.
If that's not it, then check your slabs. RAM has fits if there are two deck polygons that are exactly identical, even if one of them has been overwritten by subsequent polygons.

Unfortunately RAM isn't open till 8am Pacific and I'm on the East Coast, so I couldn't get in touch with them yet.
But did a google search and found your thread.
Just wondering if you were able to solve your problem yet.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I think it could be related to your problems.

RAM tech support is excellent and if you still have problems send them your model and they would find the problem.
