RE: RAM Frame connected nodes loads
Yes. If you want the wind or earthquake loads distributed to the columns in a specific way, use a pseudo-flexible diaphragm for the low roof. You'll need to assign frame numbers too. See also: https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki…
RE: Modeling Concrete Beams with a Two way Slab
In the Ram Concrete analysis only, the gravity beams will be in the finite element model and will share the load. See: https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki/6513/ram-ss---analysis-types-tn

RAM Truss Design
I am using RAM Element Truss design Module. When viewing the report it says the one RXN is zero. the truss is symmetric so the RXN should be similar?
RE: Wind Load for Load Case missing
In a semi-rigid diaphragm the wind load gets applied to the nodes along the edges. You can see this using process - results - applied story forces. There may be an acute angle to the edge or missing deck assignment causing the issue. See: https://communities…
RE: RAM Frame loads from Two way slab
The loads are accounted for in both methods of analysis, but the stiffness matrix is significantly different, affecting the load path. Please see this wiki for more: https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki…
