***WARNING : MEMBER - 4 IS SLENDER AND CANNOT BE CHECKED FOR MOMENT FORCES. IF THERE IS ANY BENDING, THEN BE AWARE THAT THERE IS NO CAPACITY FOR THOSE FORCES. ONLY WIDE FLANGE SHAPES WITH SLENDER WEBS CAN BE CHECKED FOR BENDING.
Why I get this warning…
Hi,
Based on NBCC 2015 4.1.8.11 4) single storey buildings with steel or wood deck as diaphragms can have a higher fundamental period compared to 4.1.8.11 3) as seen in the snap below. However, in the current RAM frame the Ta is only based on clause…
I have a building with screen wall loads on the roof. These loads act as a couple with the main post and the kicker having reactions in opposite directions. When I add these loads to the ram model, ram beam module is only considering the downward gravity…
I am getting an illegal framing configuration on Beam 42 on the lower level of my model. The data check rings up no warnings for the framing condition. However, when i run the beam design i get the error message for Beam 42 located on the diagonal A9…

From my readings of the Frame anlysis, and steel post-processor manuals/technical manuals, I though…
Has anyone seen the manual for the new OpenRETM file format?
Is it a format that will allow me to bypass the graphical user interface to build a structure?
