RE: Transfer Slabs and Frame & Concrete Modules

$

Seth,

I have following situation:
5-storey building with transfers at each floor. First 3 floors are going to be fully propped until L3 is completed and 100%cured.
In this situation, Ram Frame gives totally different results to RAM Concrete. Since first 3 floors are propped, I believe that 3 lower floors can develop a full frame.
How to analyze this sort of situation? Can RAM Frame module be used for transfer loads? Alternatively, I thought to chop off last 2 floors of the building and analyze bottom 3 floors as frame with transfer loadings on LVL3 applied manually. Levels 4-5 would be analyzed separately using Ram Concrete module.

Please let me know your thoughts.
