RAM Load Combination

Currently the combinations used for steel, gravity members are built into the RAM Steel Beam and Column design modules directly (based on the selected design code) and there is no user control.

There is no specific report for load combinations there, but you can see them on any design report or through the View - Diagrams window.  

Note, we do have plans to improve the steel modules to incorporate user-generated load combinations which could vary by building code or user preferences, but for now, that is only available in the RAM Frame, Concrete and Foundation modules.

Thank you Mr. Seth for your response.

How about in the RAM Frame Module? I know that RAM has automated lateral load generator. Are those combinations automatically sum up when designing the frame or do I need to combine those manually?(exmp. 1.2DL + 0.5LL +1.6 Wind_IBC03_1_X)

Another question Mr. Seth, Is there two-way slab in RAM SS?

Many thanks.

I want to save a custom load combination I have to enter it manually every time I run ram frame...how do I do this?

Seth, 

 Has there been any update on this? Is there a way we can generate custom load combinations in Steel beam and Steel column module? 

Thank you!
