• RAM Elements importing line loads as only half the value assigned in RAM SS

    I have defined line loads as 0.288 k/ft as shown. The spacing of beams is : 7.6667'. Therefore, the point load = 2.21k, which is what is shown in RAM beam module, as shown in the clipping. However, when imported to RAM Elements, the line load, gets…

  • Model Instability When Importing RSS file into Elements
