  • RAM Connection Baseplate won't design

    I opened a fully analyzed .rss file in RAM Connection. I selected one of the foundation nodes for baseplate design. So far it has been running for 75 minutes and still has no design. Is this a program issue or a user issue.
  • Beam "extension" at multi-story column

    When you model a cantilever beam with type "extension" at a lower level of a multi-story column, does RAM SS analyze the column as continuous or does it assume the beam essentially passes through the column? In other words, do the moments from the cantilever…
