  • But I Don’t Want to Talk to a Salesperson!

    Structural engineering software is no longer a glorified calculator. Oh sure, years ago it was that 6-pack of beer you could pick up on any street corner, but not today. Today it's a sophisticated bottle of wine with earthy tones that is lined up with…
  • One Program? No Thanks.

    I'm often asked why we don't have just one structural software program to do everything. A super software program that allows you to analyze and design a bridge, a building, a tower, a post-tensioned slab, and then create BIM models, engineering drawings…
  • Get Connected

    No, I'm not talking about joining another social networking site (unless it's Be Communities, of course). I'm talking about the nuts and bolts of the steel structure you're designing. And if you're designing that steel structure in one of our structural…

  • Individual Structural Member Labels

    Is it possible to turn of a label for a specific structural member? I know I can move the label around, rotate it, etc. Also is it possible to turn off a specific structural member? These are all being imported from RAM. Is deleting the element in Structural…
  • Modeling a Waffle slab

    Is it possible to design a waffle slab with RAM Concept? If so, can it be modeled in Modeler, then exported to Concept? If I have a 4" topping slab on 12" deep ribs, I imagine that I would input 12" deep concrete beams at 2'-0" o.c. in one direction and…
  • RAM - Steel Column design won't run.

    I have set up a model in RAM. It is A steel frame sat on an RC base. I have run the data check and there are no errors or warnings. I have run the steel beam design and it has given me section sizes. However, every time I try to run the steel…
  • Best Approach to Model and Design a Simple Four Sided Moment Frame Building in RAM SS

    I was wondering if there is any literature on the best way to approach the design of a simple four sided moment frame building using RAM Structural System? Thanks, Scott
  • Model Interoperability

    AISC has recently come out in support of IFC as the preferred method for model data exchange (Reference "The New AISC Interoperability Strategy"; Modern Steel Construction, November 2011). Will IFC be interoperable with ISM? How does Bentley plan to…
