Hi,
I have a question about the RAM Beam and Frame design. Do they complete each other or they are the replacement?
The reason I am asking this question is the model that I have with Bent beam. The beam connects the top level to the mid level. If I use hanging column or standard column I get different results in Beam design. When I use the frame design it correctly consider the connection and transfer the loads to the beams. Is there a way that Beam design applies the distribution like Frame design?
Ram Steel beam and Ram Frame analysis use different approaches that compliment each other. For details see: https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki/6513/ram-ss---analysis-types-tn
