    RAM Elements V13.0 Release Notes

    RAM Elements v13.0 Release Notes – Updated August 2012

    Enhancements

    1. CAN/CSA S16-09 Standard for steel structures design.
    2. Update to ACI 318-08 and 11 Codes for structural concrete design.
    3. Structural Synchronizer V8i (ISM 3.0) compatible:
      a. Feature additions (gusset plates, base plates, end plates and stiffeners)
      b. Connection tags
    4. The concrete shell reinforcement feature has been restored (based on ACI 318-11)
    5. Added support for Canadian steel sections.
    6. Includes an update to the RAM FE analysis engine to v9.3.
    7. Better transverse bars optimization/design for combined footings.
    8. New option to merge two models into one.
    9. SAP2000® import for the new S2K format and up to version 15.

    Resolved Issues

    1. Fix to the NASPEC (AISI) flexural buckling and web crippling values for cold-formed for certain shapes (hats with lips) were not accurate. Now equations C3.1.2.1-5 and C3.1.2.1-6 are properly calculated. Also, the values from table C3.4.1 were inaccurate. Now whether a member is subject to interior loading or not is considered precisely and a parameter was added to the Cold-Formed Design spreadsheet to allow the user to control this.
    2. Members with haunches had their self-weight miscalculated. This has been corrected to reflect the correct weight.
    3. Intermediate node (FEM) restraints on shell edges, had their propagation adjusted to reflect more accurately the restraints specified by the user in the two ends of the shell edge.
    4. Move command was not working properly in the Load Conditions window dialog. This has been repaired.
