RAM-SS Cantilevers

Mark Bozzo — Mon, 28 Apr 2014 18:10:11 GMT

Does anyone know if RAM-SS takes into account section 12.4.4 of ASCE 7-05 for cantilever members? If it is not taken into account by default, what would be the easiest way to check the beams for this? I suppose I could create a load combination in RAM Frame, but unless I'm mistaken, RAM Frame only looks at lateral members.

RAM SS Column Module is Missing some HSS sections

Mark Bozzo — Fri, 28 Mar 2014 21:47:38 GMT

In the RAM Structural System column design module, I would like to select an HSS10x4 section. This section (and a few others) does not appear in the drop down menu in the View/Update command. Is there a specific reason why? If it is indeed an error, how do I add that section to the options?

Shorten RAM Connection Output

Mark Bozzo — Tue, 17 Dec 2013 18:35:25 GMT

Is it possible to decrease the length of the output from RAM connection? The main offense is that it prints the load combinations (all 600 of them in my case) for every single check that's part of the connection. I'm thinking of a summary report of some kind or a way to only print the governing load combination or something along those lines. Any suggestions on how we can trim down the output?
