RCDC is considering some slabs as cut-outs but actually we have modelled those slab instead of cut-outs in E-tabs.

In E-tabs, sometimes user models single membrane or shell for many number of slabs combined in one large entity. Thus in this case, individual slabs bounded by beams can’t be read by RCDC. For more information refer “Slab auto-detection” of slab from help Content.
