Q.  While reading analysis model in RCDC, General reading type of error occurring for shear wall design. This error only occur for shear wall and not for beams.

A. The Microsoft Database File (mdb or accdb) created from ETABS 2019 has a few changes in the table format as compared to ETABS 2018.

Currently RCDC is not reading the data from the modified table format of accdb file created from ETABS 2019. created from Etabs 2019. 

There is change in the table for in the 'Wall Object Connectivity' table in the mdb (accdb) file as follows. By making a small modification in "Wall Object Connectivity table", the mdb file will be successfully imported in RCDC. 

For easily modifying the data, one can copy the data in excel, make changes over in the excel itself and paste the data back to mdb.

 

 

 

Once the data from "Wall Object Connectivity" is copied to excel below formula can be used to compile all the 4 unique points mentioned in 4 separate columns under one single column as per requirement of RCDC to import mdb from ETABS 2019.
