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…

I was wondering if there is any literature on the best way to approach the design of a simple four sided moment frame building using RAM Structural System? Thanks, Scott

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…

Is is possible to save visibility settings for RAM Frame? Every time I go into ram frame the visibility of slabs, gravity members, and footings is enabled. While I enjoy having the enhanced graphics in this module now, it would be nice if the program…

Is it possible to assign a WT section in RAM SS? I want to use them as stub cantilevers for deck support. Thanks

I was wondering if it is possible to change braces in RAM SS so that they do not take any vertical loading. Currently when we are looking at the forces in the braces in RAM Frame, the controlling load combination is a vertical load combination not the…

Has this been done yet? 6) Snow Loads versus Roof Live Loads Within the Criteria -> Member Loads menu in RAM Manager there is an option to consider either roof live loads or snow loads during the gravity analysis of the structure. Currently it is…

Doing a trial run on RAM Elements, importing a four story building modeled in RAM SS into Elements. All of the components transfer across, but the loads are not showing up in Elements. I have run Beam, Column and Frame analysis, and all "lights" are green…

When modeling shear walls in RAM SS, do I need to sub-divide them in RAM Modeler so that the forces that are delivered to the continuous footings in RAM Foundation more realistic?

I am just trying to get some opinions on what is done with RAM Structural System and RAM Concrete Column Design. Currently in ACI 318-08 there are three methods for column design. sections 10.10.3, 10.10.4 and 10.10.5, Nonlinear second-order analysis…

In RAM Structural System v14.06, is it possible to copy a grid system to a new grid system so that the new grid system can be modified and still keep the old grid system? This would be helpful for projects that go through many revisions where you don…

Hi, I am having troubles with RAM 3D Viewer as a part of RAM Structural System v14.05. Every time I use it, it starts up and then freezes (is "Not Responding"). What can I do? Thank you in advance. Michał Lipiński

Hi everyone, I have been using RAM Steel Column in the CSA S16 for the design of some WWF sections (required due to limits on column dimensions and our high loading) and are finding the Cr values (Compressive Resistance) calculated using RAM Steel…
