Topic: What I have to do if I want to reduce the width of beam?

Hello!

I'm doing a test with ATENA, and I have problems to "run" my test, because of my laptop doesn't have enough RAM to work.

I decided to reduce the width of the beam (0,4m to 0,2m), and then my laptop could has enough power.
I would like to do, what I can do if I want to reduce at half my width.
Should I design again the whole of beam, or maybe I have any applications to reduce automatically the width?

Hello apons3, first of all, I would recommendt to read the section "2.1.15 The analysis runs too long" of ATENA Troubleshooting for recommendations on reducing the model size. Next, the section "2.2.1 Out of memory error during ATENA analysis" can also be of interest.
