Looking for clarification on RAM Steel Column Sign Conventions

Conor Lenon — Wed, 08 Nov 2017 21:54:14 GMT

Hello,

I'm looking at this article, and would like some clarification:

https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki/2055/ram-steel-columns-fa

The diagram says "minor" and "major" axis moment, however RAM reports Mx and My in the output. In the case of a column oriented at 0 degrees, would Mx be the minor axis moment (where the minor axis is in the direction of orientation), and My be the major axis moment? And then for a column oriented at 90 degrees, does it stay the same?

Thanks.

Ask a question in a forum.

Rotate RAM Frame Generated Wind Loads or rotate entire RAM SS model?

Is it possible to set my RAM Frame wind loads to be generated at an angle? If not, what would be the best way to go about rotating my model?

Thanks!

Error where RAM Steel Beam requires Sbeam version 4.0 or higher to export to Sbeam; I have Sbeam version 5.01.

I get the error "This features [typo] requires RAM SBeam Version 4.0 or Higher to be installed" whenever I use process->export to Sbeam and click on a beam in the RAM Steel Beam/Joist Module. The module is version 15.02.00.000, and I have RAM Sbeam version 5.01. How can I fix this?

Thanks!
