RAM Elements crashing during masonry shear wall design for certain wall configurations.

 am having some trouble here.  I have imported a full RAM Structural System model and am attempting to design the reinforcement for special reinforced masonry shear walls.  I have designed one wall on the building with no issues.  When I attempt the second wall, I can assign the wall design to the shell and open the design module just fine.  However, when I try to go to the detailing tab or do anything under the 'process' header (optimize/check/report), it locks up.

The program appears to try to create a design, but remains unresponsive for 30+ minutes until I close it through task manager.  It is not a massive or complicated wall, 33' x 16', and has a 7ft x 3.5ft doorway through it. I have tried increasing the amount of available reinforcement sizes/spacing for the automated design, as well as increasing the mesh size and convergence tolerance to try and make the processing simpler, to no avail.  I have also started over by re-importing the Structural System model, and it just seems to not like this wall.  Here is a snip of the wall and the properties tab:

Can anyone be of assistance?
