• Point loads acting on incorrect beam/Modeler not matching beam/joist module

    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…

    Hi I wanted to use the ISM feature. But apparently I could not access the software downloads tile on the bentley website to do this. I got this error.(see below) What can I do for this?

  • Getting Wind Load error in RAM Structural Frame: "Some of the Wind Loads for Load Case (every single one of them) may have been missed on diaphragm." How to fix this? Also can't find the support contact information?

    Having some problems with RAM Structural Frame: "Some of the Wind Loads for Load Case (every single one of them) may have been missed on diaphragm." How is this solved? If this is a quick fix, please let me know. How do I get the wind loads to generate…

  • RE: Assign camber to a beam

    No, camber is always selected by the program based on the deflections and camber criteria. RAM SS - Steel Beam Deflection and Camber

  • RE: Loads

    Check this issue first: Missing or incorrect loads on perimeter beams Happens to members in the outer bay when the slab edge slightly diverges from the perimeter framing.

  • RE: Difference between RAM Elements and Ram Structural System

    Ram Elements is more like STAAD, a general purpose Finite element analysis (and design) tool. It’s different from RAM Structural System mostly in how things are modeled by placing nodes in 3 dimensional space and connecting them with lines or plates.…

  • RE: RAM SS - illegal framing configuration

    In general, see RAMSS Common Framing Table Errors In your case, I see a few things that are problematic. 1. if you are using an one way deck areas, those areas need to be completely framed, i.e. a perimeter of beams or walls along the edges of the…

  • RE: RAM Steel Beam module not using studs

    If the beam is acutely skewed to the deck you can have that problem. You'll find details here: You can always use the Assign - Ignore Rib Spacing... command to circumvent that issue.

  • RE: RAM SS - Check Self Weight of Deck

    Take a look at RAM Manager manual, section 7.2 Metal Deck Table File Format. There is a property called AcRib which is "the area of concrete in the rib per foot or per meter of deck width (in.2/ft. or cm2/m)." This value is used for the calculation…

  • RE: Can "Design All" actually design "all"?

    "Design All" normally does design composite action and set camber for members with user assigned sizes. That's why we allow the user to take two kinds of actions, assigning a size and freezing the design (which is the same as clicking Update Database…

  • RE: RAM Structural System - Custom Beam Flags

    Most of what you are looking for is available in one way or another. Minimum flange width can be specified in Modeler - Layout - beams - Size restrictions. Keep in mind this is an precise limit, not a nominal limit. There are also controls in the…
