Duplicated sections warnings - RAM Connection for RAM Structural System


Problem Description

Several warnings when opening RAM Connection indicating duplicated sections items.

Reason

Several missing section (i.e. heavy sections) from the AISC 15th Ed. were incorporated in our sections database to have to complete AISC sections set. RAM Connections users from RAM Structural System might experience several warnings when opening RAM Connection indicating duplicated items if these sections were previously used.

Solution

This does not represent an issue regarding RAM Connection functionality, but the messages might represent an annoyance. In order to get rid of the warnings the custom sections from previous versions need to be deleted. Therefore, delete all items in the folder RSS folder in the path:

C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Engineering\RAM Connection\23.0.1\Database\Sections\RSS
