I am using RAM Structural for a building that has dozens of different Surface loads, Line loads, and Point Loads. I have all of the various loadings tabulated in an Exel file. It is my understanding that with Data Access, there should be a way for me to "import" those loads rather than having to re-type them all in RAM Modeler. When I get those loads entered, and perform analysis in RAM Frame, I would like to be able to extract P/Pn, M/Mn, and V/Vn along with the member numbers, but nothing else.
I know virtually nothing about visual basic and have read the tips at the Be forum and downloaded some sample scripts, but I just don't understand how to do it. From what I have heard, this should be a relatively easy script to write for someone with VB experience. Is there anyone that has written or could write an excel spreadsheet that will do this? I would be forever grateful if someone could help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Michael
Hi,
Would you please help me to access a DA script for adding the loads to my model.
Currently, it is not possible to extract capacity ratios from RAM Frame. Member forces can be retrieved, but the member capacities are not available. I could probably create a DA script to add the loads to the model. Please create a service ticket online and attach your spreadsheet.
