    RAM Connection CONNECT Edition V13 Update 5 (v13.5.0) Release Notes

    RAM Connection CONNECT Edition V13 Update 5 (v13.5.0) Release Notes – Updated June 2021

    Enhancements:

    1. New bracing connections for IS 800-2007 for column-beam-brace joints.

    This new connection supports I and HSS shapes for columns and channels, HSS, angles and rods for braces.

                  

    Figure 1. Bracing connections assignment buttons         Figure 2. Gusset with angle braces

    2. New tubular connections for mitred knee and beam and column splices joints for AS4100 and NZS3404.

    These connections can only be assigned to joints conformed with tubular members (e.g. hollow structural sections HSS). The mitred knee connections works with beam to column flange (BCF) and beam to column web (BCW) joints. The end plate (moment end plate) connection can be assigned to columns splices (CS) and beam splices (BS). 

         

                                    Figure 3. Mitred knee and end plate (moment end plate) connections for tubular members                                                        

    3. All documentation for RAM Connection Standalone was migrated to Bentley WebHelp which includes manuals, help context and htmls.

    4. Some connection enhancements like:

    • Save as zip. Now it is possible to save a model as zip. This is very useful when the model contains custom sections, materials, welds, anchors and templates as all these are added to the zip together with the *.rcnx model. This zip file, when open, will place all custom database files in the correct locations and will open the model making it easy to share model with custom items.

    Resolved Issues:

    • Limcon import was improved adding new database sections and materials to match Limcon standard database.

    • AS 4100 bolted end plate was reporting weld capacities for CP welds. This is fixed now and capacities are only reported for fillet welds.

    • AISC 360 Extended single plate with stiffeners does not consider the support web strength due to out-of-plane transversal load as a limit state now.

    • Copy current joint tool was not copying the opposite beam section for BCF joints. This was corrected.

    • AISC 360 Single plate column end validations and corrections for HSS columns according to chapter K added.

    • EN 1993 Base plate shear stub was not considering proper dimensions for minor axis bearing and shear capacities. These are fixed now.
