When using the RAM SS to RAM CONCEPT interaction, our load history steps are reset to default, and our custom load combinations are deleted when we close CONCEPT and come back through the SS dashboard. I've seen on other forum posts that the CONCEPT model can be extracted and used separately, but we would like to maintain the connection between SS and CONCEPT if possible since there are inevitable tweaks and changes that would affect both models. We've obviously made sure to hit the save button and all other changes to the CONCEPT model have stayed. It's just these items that we have had to re-input every time we open CONCEPT. Please let me know if there is a simple solution we're overlooking, or if this is not a feature yet.
Thank you again,
Currently, custom load combinations are cleared and regenerated with the defaults whenever loads are reimported when re-opening the RAM Concept model. The regeneration of the load combinations also forces the load history steps to be regenerated as well.
If the loads have not changed and there is no need to reimport the loads when reopening the RAM Concept model at a later date, uncheck the boxes marked in the image below before opening the model. This will keep the custom load combinations and the load history criteria intact.
We will look into changing the behavior in the near future.
