  • RAM Elements - Thermal Loads - Elongation due to Temperature Changes

    Does RAM Elements calculate the elongation of steel beams and steel bar joists due to temperature changes? I'm working on a project that has a High Temperature of 93F, a Mean Temperature of 58F, and a Low Temperature of -2F. The Temperature Difference…
  • How does RAM element perform temperature analysis on a steel building?

    How does RAM element perform temperature analysis on a steel building? I have a steel building and i need to analyse to analyse the building for a change of 32deg F. My lateral system for the building is BRB's, so I need to check if my temperature deflections…
  • RE: RAM Elements, Version 13.4 - Nonlinear Analysis with Temperature Load

    It's working OK for me with 13.04.01.208. Is your model non-linear due to the presence of tension-only members, compression-only springs or just from using P-Delta? Are the thermal loads applied to linear members, shells or both? Better yet, send over…
