Dear experts! I am running CAESAR II analysis on a complex model. When I run the error checker I don't get any errors but when I run the model from static load case definition window, I get following error.
"There are some elements in this job that do not in any way connect to other elements in the job. This configuration can be analyzed but is usually the result of an input error"
I had suspected this when it was imported form CADWORX. I had went ahead and already found some elements that weren't physically connected. They were adjacent to each other but didn't share a common node number. However that took fairly significant amount of time in this busy model. And I am still getting this error.
Is there an easy way to find these discontinuities?

If the CADWorx model is assembled without the proper use of the Autocad Snap command (e.g., snap to center) these disconnects are not unusual. This is the type of thing that must be considered as you are building the CADWorx model and not something that can be easily fixed later.
