In a RAM SS model, I tried assigning HSS2.5x2.5X1/4 beam size to a beam. This size is available in the "Assign Size" dialogue box. However, when I run the design, the following error message is generated and the user assigned size is cleared. Is there…

Hi, I get the following error when running analysis in Steel Beam module: "Illegal framing configuration detected on beam -1". The error is caused at the wall. Several things are happening in the area in question. It is inside corner of the building…

In RAM SS, Beam gravity module. I am analyzing some web openings in the beam. The beam is designed as a composite beam. But the opening paramter, po, is checked against 5.6 ( recommended for steel section per AISC Design Guide #2)? Do you know the reason…

This is the first time this has happened to me, but point loads that I placed on a beam in the RAM modeler are not acting on that beam when checked in the beam/joist module. However, they are acting on a different beam along the same construction grid…

Any idea why my deflection demand/capacity ratio = -2.0 no matter what section I use?

Is it possible to rerun the beam design in RAM SS using a command in data access? I don't see this in the developers guide or on the forum so I'm assuming the answer is no but it seems like this would be a very helpful feature to iterate different designs…

I am doing a vibration analysis on a perfect bay. The girder spans 35' and the joints span 34'. I also have a spread sheet that follows DG11. I am getting different results from floorvibe. When I look at the complete report floorvibe calculates Dg =Ig…
