I used the check valve at the transient operational settings of the pump.

I need to specify and design WUF-W Moment Connection in RAM Connection, is it available?
Also I don't see the shear angle in RBS in smart connection.
No, we don't specifically have the WUF-W types. Direct Welded joints, flange plates, & moment end plates only. The RBS details impact these moment connections but don't matter for a separate shear connection.
Seth, thanks..
What do you suggest for shear design inside the moment connection module (RBS)? shall I design the moment connection separately for shear and then add the moment connection.

Read more.Seth,
That seems to have worked, thank you for your help!
Another question I had was with regards to punching shear at the beams- there's not much clarity on how RAM does it in the documentation, can you point me to any other resources?

Hello Danny,
currently OBD is missing the propert tools for actual Foundation modelling. There are some workarounds as explained in these videos:
