    RAM Elements CONNECT Edition v16.3 Release Notes

    RAM Elements CONNECT Edition v16.03.00.101 Release 
    Notes – Updated December 2020

    Enhancements:

    1. Direct Analysis Method. Automatic notional loads generators and stiffness reduction factors were added in order to complete the direct analysis method requirements. 

    Figure 1. Notional load case manager

    2. Update Masonry TMS 402-16. The masonry design was updated to the latest design code TMS 402-16 for the Masonry Wall module in standalone and integrated mode. This update is also available in the Retaining Wall module.

    Figure 2. New TMS 402-16 design code in Masonry Wall module.

    3. iTwin Services - Design Review. RAM Elements now have a new side bar where all iTwin Services will be presented. iTwin Design Review is a service that allows a model created in an analytical desktop application to be converted into a point of collaboration hosted in the web that can be shared with any team member or stakeholder on a project. For more details please read iTwin Services for Engineering Analysis.  

    Figure 3. iTwin Services side bar.

    Resolved Issues:

    • AISC 360-10 single angle flexural torsional capacity was considering the erroneous ry for the critical elastic stress calculation (Fe). This is fixed now.

    • AISI S100-12/16 effective section calculation for gradient stress elements were not being considered properly. This is fixed and now results match latest AISI Manual (2017).

    • Concrete beam pre-design for torsion was not presenting results as the stirrups were always defined as open. An option was added to the Reinforced concrete design dialog to define stirrups as closed.

    • Tilt-Up deflections were calculated with wrong maximum moment for fixed panels. This is fixed now and the module is using the moment that produces maximum deflection.
