The "Steel Beam Design" module of RAM Structural Systems (CONNECT Edition v17.04.184 SES) keeps crashing as I use the "View/Update Beam" tool on members. Does anyone know how to resolve / avoid this? This issue takes this form: I open the RAM Beam…

Not sure how to reconcile this error, the column has already been assigned and deleting it and bringing it back in doesn't fix the issue either. any help appreciated

I am attempting to assign and design gusset plate connections using Ram connection using data from a RSS model. When trying to assign a connection detail to a joint the error The joint composed by node "171" and members "120, 886" is not valid "Column…

I cannot seem to figure out why I am getting this error at this location/wall. It is a simple 0" slab edge laying on top of the concrete wall that had not given me issues previously. I attempted all the items adressed in the wiki posting for this error…

Hello, In RAM Frame when running the joint check for Seismic Provisions, I get these errors associated with the joints of my OCBF frames with HSS braces, HSS columns, and wide flange beams. Is this just saying that RAM won't do a code check for these…

I receive an error message "Polygon intersection algorithm failed for the following input polygons:...." when I open RAM Frame. Once I click "OK", the RAM Frame module closes. I don't understand why I'm receiving this error. The only change I made in…

I am working on a two story steel building and am experiencing issues with the beam optimization. RAM is currently using a loading combination for some beams, displayed below, that is not the maximum loading so the beams are designed too small. Instead…

I am getting Illegal Framing Configuration Detected on the circled beams below. Not sure how to resolve this. Immediately to the right of these beams is two way slab, not sure if that has anything to do with it. I modelled slab edge using "Whole Perimeter…

Hi, I get the following error when running analysis in Steel Beam module: "Illegal framing configuration detected on beam -1". The error is caused at the wall. Several things are happening in the area in question. It is inside corner of the building…

Hello Everyone For a while, I was using an Advanced Concrete Design (RCDC) for the design of a solid slab. Today I tried to learn the RAM concept for the slab designs but I saw a design of strips that had never seen before (When I was using RCDC and…

Hello Everyone. I create a dummy beam with density=0 and E=0 (Figure.1) then I assign the beam (Figure.2) then Staad Error occurs( ***ERROR*** MATERIAL NAME MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY BLANK SPACE )(Figure.3), What is the solution?

I can print to screen and see the report just fine. However, the report does not print correctly when I change the to print to text/csv. To be more specific, the report is created, but the report does not contain any information. It seems that this is…

Hello, I received this message when I went to import my RAM Frame analysis to RAM Connection. I noticed that my load combinations did not appear in RAM Connection, and I was puzzled why. I found that I could generate my loads, but my base plate design…

Good Afternoon, I am working in a model of a 2-story MF Residential structure; loads from 4 levels of wood above are applied as Line/Point/Surface loads to the 2-story concrete structure in RAM. All the design modules seem to work fine (No errors/warnings…

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?
