How do I change Mton/Cm to Kn/m

Good Day, I would like to pose a question relating to the comparison between the RAM suite of software and those included with STAAD. Traditionally, my firm has used STAAD to complete all our structural analysis and design, however, considering as the…

When designing composite steel girders, does RAM Steel Beam consider the self-weight of beams supported by the girder and the line loads on those beams as non-composite loads or post composite loads?

Hey I am finding the load patterns symbols to disappear when I print it out in the new RAM SS V 17.00.01.09. Is there any solution for this? PDF

Hey, What is the functionality of Framing Check in RAM Structural System ?

Hi, I have a building with two orthogonal braced frame intersecting, which makes one of the column forms both lateral system in the orthogonal direction. Per ASCE 7-10, section 12.5.3.a, Orthogonal Combination Procedure shall apply (see figure 1 below…

For some reason I am not able to view any of the RAM files. I'm getting this window. RAM SS is the latest version. Can someone please help me out with this?

I can't get the RAM Modeler view to scroll far enough to see edges when zoomed in. It cuts of my gridlines on the farthest sides unless I zoom out all the way. How do I fix this?

warehouse.zip wind calculation also in that folder.... try to fix this probem guys

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…

I have got my report, but there is no loading details like dead load, Wind loads and all... In report settings i have added Loadings, but its not showing.... Wt to do???? i want to see other load details. How to get that details?

Actually i need all members UC Ratio values. How to get all values???? Please guys guide me New folder (2).rar

When exporting loads from RAM Structural system to RAM Concept, I receive this error as RAM starts up. After clicking 'ok' and proceeding past this error - it appears that the only transfer loads exported into RAM concept are Dead & Live, but no lateral…

My RAM SS database resets the gravity and frame analysis after importing transfer loads into a RAM Concept model. Essentially need to re-analyse RAM SS model prior to importing transfer loads to each RAM concept model. Is this a bug or is there a procedure…

When inputting criteria in RAM Frame (RAM v14.07.01), do I input the ultimate wind speed (Vult) or nominal wind speed (Vasd)? Thank you.

I have an issue where I have a concrete column that is shown as failing due to kl/r>100. The code reference for this error is given as 10.13.5. The problem with this is that I'm using ACI318-11, and that is an invalid code reference. In 318-11, 10.13…

Hi -- I have a C++ program which attempts to build and save a model via the RAM Data Access COM library. I have been able to successfully add CompDeckProp objects and slab edges to my model, but have found that after trying to assign decks (via IFloorType…

Is it possible to set RAM Structural System to only use 1 stud per foot? I know you can set the maximum spacing (and I have set it to 12") but is there a way to set the minimum spacing? My company has an internal policy to only use 1 stud per foot for…

Does anyone have an RSS Beams table with 6th edition beam shapes in it?

All, I am looking for some guidance, when determining the lambda critical value for a structure within RAM Frame, does the programme do anything with this? In particular, if the lambda critical value is less than 10, but greater than 4, does the…

Is there any way to go about loading the structure with thermal loads in RAM Structural System? Currently we have two buildings that are seperated by a very small expansion joint and we are going to join them, however we would like to see what effect…

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…

Is there a simple way to split walls in RAM SS? I keep getting the following error: "Wall #XX has another Wall framing into its interior on Layout Type XXXXX. Wall coordinates ( ft ) (XX.XXXX,XX.XXXX), (XX.XXXX,XX.XXXX) Frame-in Wall coordinates…
