https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/117763/minimum-size-requirements-for-composite-actionI have been instructed that the minimum 8x 10x and 12x for composite action are 8x15, 10x17, and 12x19. Is there a way to include these design restrictions in the program? I have tried a min depth size restriction to try to get it to design the 8x15 insteaden-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/362532?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 05 Apr 2016 17:38:30 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:98b5387c-9481-4fa9-9186-22641fe8172aHeather AskinsYes. I didn&#39;t realize that the difference was the flange width of at least 4.01 so thank you! I was trying to specify depth restrictions. Didn&#39;t realize there was a flange width restriction too! Thank you.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/362528?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 05 Apr 2016 17:29:05 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:c3977a84-5602-4a09-a9a4-0c06a649bf71Seth Guthrie<p>In Ram Structural System? If so you can assign various dimension controls in Ram Modeler - Layout - Beam -&nbsp;Size restrictions (like minimum flange width) if that&#39;s the key factor. Otherwise you can edit the steel beam design table to exclude the smaller, undesired shapes.
