  • Wind Speed does not match in the command editor and wind definition window. How do I make them match?

    I have been inputting the wind speed in the wind definitions menu and it keeps revering from 145 mph to 108 mph when I click apply. I've deleted the entire wind definition and re-input it in again but the value is still stuck on 108 mph. I can see that…
  • Clarification on how RAM Frame handles parapet exposure

    I am a bit confused on how ram handles parapet exposure so I wanted to be sure I was interpreting correctly. In the user manual, it says that "parapets are only considered when the building steps, that is, the extent of the level above perpendicular…
  • Wind Projected Area on Angular Members

    Hi, I am modelling an open structure with angular sections as the vertical members (Telco tower). However I found that the wind forces on the angles are a bit large. So I did a test model to compare a tube 100x100mm and an equal angle 100x100mm, applied…
