  • Ram connection using Hb force component instead of Hc as the axial force at the vertical brace connection's beam-to-column interface.

    At the vertical brace connection framing-to-beam-column junction , it appears that the Hb force component (required shear force on the gusset-to-beam connection) is considered as the axial force at the beam-to-column connection interface, rather than…
  • RAM connection Standalone 2023: HSS wall slenderness check in single plate connections.

    Hi, I am writing to report an issue with the RAM Connection Standalone 2023 software. I noticed that when I was designing a W beam to HSS column single plate (shear tab connection), the software did not check the slenderness of the HSS wall as per AISC…

  • Different working point shown in steel auto drafter

    I noticed that steel auto drafter does not show the correct working point of beams. As seen below, WP is set at 1m from EL.2.05 which should place it at EL.3.05 however this is not the case if dimension is measured in the generated drawing. Please advise…

  • RAM Connection Anchor Bolt Checks

    In RAM Connections, can anchor bolts be checked for combined shear and tension per AISC DG 1 which considers bending in the bolts due to shear when oversized holes and welded washers are used? I see that the software currently calculates these per ACI…
  • Zeta Parameter in Collapse Module

  • Ram Connection_Outdated Concrete Design Code [US]

    For a column base plate, the Steel Design Code uses the up-to-date AISC 360-16. However the Concrete Design Code is still the outdated ACI 318-08. I understand not much has changed for the anchorage provisions in the ACI other than it being reorganized…
  • Partial Twin Leaf Pier Connections

    The Partial Twin Leaf Pier Bottom Connections could be modeled by attaching the Previous full Cross-section to the new Double Leaf CS thru its nodes. As shown in the picture below, the best practice is to use different node numbers and use rigid links…

  • Anyone else feel like the license management portal is overly complicated?

    We only use 4 of Bentley's products. Yet they give us access to everything and we have to figure out how to create groups and modify exceptions and create allow and deny rules per country, and on and on and on. I sure would be nice if we only had access…

  • 通过RDS方式下发到用户端的软件,打开都特别慢
