How do I import user-defined lateral…
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,

Hey all,
Just wondering as to how people have been approaching inputting wind uplift loading into the RAM SS loadings/load combinations. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Also I am wondering from the Bentley Tech's who are on this forum, will…
All,
I am looking for some guidance, when determining the lambda critical value for a structure within RAM Frame, does the programme do anything with this? In particular, if the lambda critical value is less than 10, but greater than 4, does the…
Is is possible to save visibility settings for RAM Frame? Every time I go into ram frame the visibility of slabs, gravity members, and footings is enabled. While I enjoy having the enhanced graphics in this module now, it would be nice if the program…
I was wondering if it is possible to change braces in RAM SS so that they do not take any vertical loading. Currently when we are looking at the forces in the braces in RAM Frame, the controlling load combination is a vertical load combination not the…
When modeling shear walls in RAM SS, do I need to sub-divide them in RAM Modeler so that the forces that are delivered to the continuous footings in RAM Foundation more realistic?
