Unable to open file

Hi Guys,

I had been working on a file in the morning and the file was saved and closed. Now i'm trying to get back at it but can't open RAM frame, I can only open the file and see Ram Model. I tried everything I can think of but no luck. I am unable to post the file here since its too big. Any suggestions or is there a way for me to upload the file anywhere.

Thank you,

Day

  • Seth, by not considering the wall out of plane stiffness in the analysis, it does make a difference in the wind loads for the walls above the steel beams. My final question here is does the Steel check in RAM frame not consider any gravity loads? Please see the attached file. Here I have two beams Beam 601(W21x44) and Beam 571(W21x50), when I look at the results in the Steel Beam Module, the Shear value obtained are 46.64 K for B601 and 79.1 K for B571. But when I look at the results in RAM frame I get shear values to be -2.51 K for B601 and 0.01 K for B571. I can even reduce the Beam sizes to a W8x10 and W10x30 for B601 and B571 respectively and the results show the beams still work according to RAM Frame, where as they fail horribly in Steel beam module. Can you please shed some light on this.

    Thank you.
