Pt required for Column design in RCDC
Hi, we were able to get pt provided in column after design in RCDC table.
Whether its possible to get pt required for column design instead of pt provided?

Input & Reported Column Eccentricity
How can I confirm column eccentricity in RAM SS? Within the Data Echo report it notes in the column table that "values with a + indicate eccentricity plus 1/2 column dimension", then in the table is notes "+100" however these notes in the report do not…
Buckling Factor for Simple Pinned Column
Hi,
I used the verification example for the buckling factors for determining the critical buckling loads for a simple column (pinned pinned).
However I get different results every time I run them. How do I ensure that the values I get are the…
In my model I have grouped the columns. Instead of column name I want to see group names. How to do that?

Can someone explain what the compressible option for column modeling entails? (In Ram Concept)
Does assigning the compressible feature to the column takes column shortening into account therefore increasing deflections at the column?
I have seen that it is usually recommended to apply to models but it would be more helpful to understand why.…

Column and Wall Rigid Zone
Hi,
I am reading a post about modeling in RAM Concept. One of the questions mentioned rigid zones at columns and walls. See the snapshot below:
My question is what stiffness factors one should use for these rigid zones:
