Why is it that in RAM Connection, Base Plate module, fixed biaxial, that tensile loads in anchor bolts aren't distributed based on their location to the load application point? For example, if I have a column with a 2x2 anchor bolt layout, with one of…

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…

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…

Hello Everyone. I create a dummy beam with density=0 and E=0 (Figure.1) then I assign the beam (Figure.2) then Staad Error occurs( ***ERROR*** MATERIAL NAME MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY BLANK SPACE )(Figure.3), What is the solution?

warehouse.zip wind calculation also in that folder.... try to fix this probem guys

I have got my report, but there is no loading details like dead load, Wind loads and all... In report settings i have added Loadings, but its not showing.... Wt to do???? i want to see other load details. How to get that details?

Hola; Necesito saber si es posible generar barras según las define el reglamento CIRSOC 301, como Itipo Grupo IV y Grupo V en RAM, como se ven en la imagen del link. https://www.google.com.ar/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjp8…

As per the title, how do I get Staad to analyse a connection as a pinned joint?

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…

Section 5.20.3 states that "f 1 (Depth of section at start node) should always be greater than f 3 (Depth of section at end node)." In the model I am working in, it makes more sense for me to define my members from left to right which results in some…

Hello As part of my project I had been going through some examples as shown on the verification manual of Staad Pro v8i and version 2007. However, I been having issues with some of the examples as some do not show the full detail of calculation description…

I have uncovered some hidden gems in RAM Elements. Check out my blog article .

Gents, today i'm working on pipe/tubular section in my model. to check the ratio in analysis, i'm using API code, but for non tubular section, i use AISC 9th Ed. however, i have some question regarding API code. (i use STAAD Pro v8i SELECT 4 20…

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…

While trying to design a model which is all steel members, the following error pops up; SteelCollection.dll not registered. I have included a snipping of the error window. Any help would be great. Regards, Scott

When running the STAAD, the result shows everything is right,. Structure is stable, no warning. Displacements are limited. BUT, I get some funny numbers for rotational displacement e.g. 533 degree & sometimes more. I checked releases. I believe they…

There has been a new QA&R posting of STAAD.Pro V8i SELECTSeries 1 (build 20.07.06.35) on the Bentley SELECT server that addresses a number of issues which were not addressed in build 20.07.06.34 released on 18th March 2010. The additional issues addressed…

Our company recently went from Risa to STAAD, is there any way to import a RISA 3D file into STAAD other than the DXF feature? The dxf only imports the geometry and I would like to get the properties. I know you can go the other way, from STAAD to Risa…

I am using RAM Structural for a building that has dozens of different Surface loads, Line loads, and Point Loads. I have all of the various loadings tabulated in an Exel file. It is my understanding that with Data Access, there should be a way for me…

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, Scott
