https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/175540/designing-studs-for-specific-beam-sizeIn RAM SS, I have a group of beams that I know the sizes I want, but need to come up with number of studs and camber. Is there a way I can do this? All steel beams are specified as composite in the modeler.

First assign the specific size in the Modeler. While you are there confirm that the beam is designated to be composite and the deck is composite. If not change properties.</p> <p>If the program can&#39;t design it compositely, maybe because it can&#39;t fit enough studs for minimum composite action, then you should get a warning to that effect. There are some settings under Criteria - Stud criteria to potentially change in that case.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
