RAM Elements is a finite element-based general analysis program with an integrated design toolkit. In RAM Elements, you can design complex three dimensional structures or individual structural components. In the RAM Elements main application, a model is built by entering information, such as properties or loading, into a series of data sheets. RAM Elements also has design and detailing modules to assist you in the design and detailing of isolated beams, footings, walls, trusses, or connections. These Learning Resources will help you quickly find training materials and wiki articles related to your analysis and design workflow in RAM Elements.
