Structural Modeler V8i Automated Drawing Enhancements
The new release of Structural Modeler V8i Selectseries 1 (08.11.07) adds many new features to support the automated creation of drawings from RAM Structural System models. These features have been added to the existing support for framing plans and framing…
Re: STAAD PRO: How to model an equipment with a single node in the CoG and transfer loads to other nodes
Thank you for the link AndrejLogunov, so can I set the master/slave nodes only from the input command file? Is it possilbe to set the master/slave nodes from the user interface instead of the command file?
I have no plates, I have only the beam structure…
RAM Structural System Fatal Error
When running the beam design module I get a fatal error with a message " Two members at same location at (ft): (----),(----)
I didn't know that it is even possible to have two members in the same location. It doesn't even say what level the error is…
STAAD PRO: How to model an equipment with a single node in the CoG and transfer loads to other nodes
Hallo everyone and thank you in advance for the help and the advices you will give me!!
I'm a new STAAD PRO user, I have modeled a 3 floors beam structure, on the top floor of this structure there is a filter house. The structure is loaded by some…
RAM Connection Baseplate won't design
I opened a fully analyzed .rss file in RAM Connection. I selected one of the foundation nodes for baseplate design. So far it has been running for 75 minutes and still has no design. Is this a program issue or a user issue.
RAM - Steel Column design won't run.
I have set up a model in RAM. It is A steel frame sat on an RC base.
I have run the data check and there are no errors or warnings.
I have run the steel beam design and it has given me section sizes.
However, every time I try to run the steel…
Copes
I'm having some troubles with the cope setting in XM.
I've set the cope to 0 so am expecting the intersecting beam to cope around the main beam (in orange). But for some reason it copes the left edge ok but does something funn to the top. Cutting back…
Elemental stiffness matrix
Hello, I built a simple truss model in Staad pro V8i. I am wondering whether there is a way to extract elemental stiffness matrix in global coordinate? I can access global stiffness matrix by enter SET PRINT STFFINESS in the basic solver. Is there any…
Lumped mass on a node
Goodevening everybody,
I wish someone can help me: how can I insert a lumped mass on a node in order to apply forces and accelerations directly on the mass? If it's possible, please, explain me how to do it from the GUI and not from the input command…
Modeling a Waffle slab
Is it possible to design a waffle slab with RAM Concept? If so, can it be modeled in Modeler, then exported to Concept? If I have a 4" topping slab on 12" deep ribs, I imagine that I would input 12" deep concrete beams at 2'-0" o.c. in one direction and…
Modifying joist envelope - Modeler V8i
Can someone tell me how to stretch the joist envelope out to the end of a top chord extension. I know with XM this could be done with a simple stretch command, but with V8i when I try to stretch it the whole joist moves along with it. Any help would be…
RAM SS - Grids
In RAM Structural System v14.06, is it possible to copy a grid system to a new grid system so that the new grid system can be modified and still keep the old grid system? This would be helpful for projects that go through many revisions where you don…
RAMSS Composite beams being designed as non-composite members
This problem is occurring on RAM Structural System v8 i 14.05.03.00
My problem is pretty straightforward. I have a model that was designing composite beams correctly. However, when I added a couple of cantilever beams and changed the deck/slab area…
