  • Base of column fixity based on local axis, not on global axis in RAM Elements

    Currently working on a project where I have an asymmetrical open structure, The structure is a complex shape canopy that has a oval shape and follows the path of three radii. The canopy has Rectangular HSS sections as columns which rotate their axis directions…
  • RAM Concrete two-way slab to wall fixity

    What is the out of plane bending fixity between a 2-way concrete slab and a concrete wall in RAM Concrete. Likewise, what is the fixity in RAM Frame? Does it change if the wall is gravity member vs lateral member. Is there somewhere in the manual that…
  • Fixed Beam Diagram Shows it as Pinned

    Hi, I am trying to model a fixed-fixed beam in RAM Structural System but the moment diagram shows it as a simple beam. I assigned the framing members as lateral members and assigned the fixity as shown. Is there something I'm missing? Any help would…
