Explanation

FloorVibe is a third-party product developed by Dr. Murray of Structural Engineers, Inc. A link has been developed between the Steel Beam module in RAM Structural System and FloorVibe. Although FloorVibe integrates with RAM Structural System, it is installed separately. The two error messages occur when FloorVibe is not installed on a workstation.

Starting with RAM Structural System v14.07.00.00 the FloorVibe v2.02 installation will be embedded into the RAM SS installer and deployed on each workstation. 

How to Avoid

Install FloorVibe on the workstation. Based on a third-party agreement, users in the United States and the United Kingdom are provided with a copy of the FloorVibe installer through Bentley when a perpetual license for RAM Steel is originally purchased. Users in other countries can purchase FloorVibe directly from Dr. Murray by visiting http://www.floorvibe.com/.

Users who cannot locate a FloorVibe installer should contact technical support via the forums or SELECTsupport to obtain another copy of the installer. FloorVibe is distributed as a zip archive. To install the product, please expand the zip archive, and run Setup.exe. To avoid installation issues, do not run FloorVibe.msi or FloorVibeUK.msi directly. Regretfully we can no longer send the very latest version of FloorVibe. If you need to user version 2.10 or later, visit http://www.floorvibe.com/.
