Hi, I watched the Bentley tutortial video "Analyzing Combined Steel & Masonry Buildings in RAM Structural System and RAM Elements" and built a simple building to play around. Basically I modeled a simple 2-story building enclosed by CMU shear walls…

I have geometrical properties for a custom shape (C8x13.75 with 2-1/4"x8" plates on both top and bottom). I created a "Gen shape" in RAM Elements and assigned it to a beam that I am studying. RAM elements is able to analyze it, however, it is unable to…

We often need to analyze existing PEMB structures and when only existing loads are applied the structure still fails. We have used the MBMA special considerations option in our design and that does not seem to help. What are we missing? Is there another…

In RAM Elements v16 Update 6 (16.06.00.187), how do I assign incising factor for NDS 2018 timber design?

Under geometry input, there is an option for "Bottom panel". I do not understand what this does. When a value is input, the graphic makes it look like the bottom of the panel is buried in the footing. I'm trying to figure out how to model the geometry…

Brought this issue up previously but wanted to see if anyone else is having the same issue. Figured it'd be worth posting on here just in case. We’ve had a few cases in our office with folks who have upgraded to the most recent RAM Elements version…

Are there plans to include ACI 318-19 provisions in any upcoming releases for the RAM programs? If so, is there an ETA on this? Our AHJ will be adopting IBC 2021 in a few months, but we need to have the ability to start designing concrete structures in…

Ram Elements: I am currently trying to model a load bearing 8" concrete wall with 25'-0" opening. I have gravity loads acting in plane and wind load acting out of plane. I wanted to know if the concrete wall above the opening (about 4'-0") is designed…

When I use the "recover load conditions" button on the "Load conditions" panel on the home tab, I often end up with seemingly random loads on members. Some are user inputs and others are from area pressures. I keep clearing them out in the spreadsheet…

I want to model the frame as shown in the picture below in RAM Elements. The clouded regions shown is the shear only transfer splice connection. All other connections are pinned connections. My question is, how do I model the frame in RAM Elements? …

Hello Everyone For a while, I was using an Advanced Concrete Design (RCDC) for the design of a solid slab. Today I tried to learn the RAM concept for the slab designs but I saw a design of strips that had never seen before (When I was using RCDC and…
