How does RAM calculate the Moment of Inertia of a composite section (AISC)
Looking at the reports for a typical composite beam in RAM Structural System, I am seeing that RAM outputs I-effective (Ieff) and I-transformed (Itr) that are different from those listed in AISC Table 3-20 (Lower Bound Elastic Moment of Inertia for Plastic…
Gravity Steel Members Force per Load Case
Hello ,
I know there is a way to get the results for frame members from post-processing for each load cases which also includes D and L. Similarly is there a way to get the results for the gravity steel members?
Columns outside Slab Edge
Hey I have a situation where column is outside defined slab edge? What are the implications of this? Please see pic below:
A better way to make repetitive changes in RAM Modeler
I have a model with 20 stories and most have a unique layout type. However, most of them share a common core of slap openings for elevators, stairs, etc. If I have to make a change on a number of these, I have to manually go and make that same change…
RAM SS Beam Deflection Error
I just go a more recent version of RAM SS and when I run the beam module there are certain beam that now show that they fail in deflection. But when I look at the report the beam does not fail in deflection. I have tried deleting the beam and putting…
RAM Structural System V17.0 License Consolidation

Significant changes have been made to the way the RAM Structural System is licensed. Now there is only…
Point loads acting on incorrect beam/Modeler not matching beam/joist module
This is the first time this has happened to me, but point loads that I placed on a beam in the RAM modeler are not acting on that beam when checked in the beam/joist module. However, they are acting on a different beam along the same construction grid…
how to get the loadings details in report????
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?
ISM in RAM SS
Hi I wanted to use the ISM feature. But apparently I could not access the software downloads tile on the bentley website to do this. I got this error.(see below) What can I do for this?

RE: Assign camber to a beam
No, camber is always selected by the program based on the deflections and camber criteria. RAM SS - Steel Beam Deflection and Camber
RE: Loads
Check this issue first: Missing or incorrect loads on perimeter beams
Happens to members in the outer bay when the slab edge slightly diverges from the perimeter framing.
RE: Difference between RAM Elements and Ram Structural System
Ram Elements is more like STAAD, a general purpose Finite element analysis (and design) tool. It’s different from RAM Structural System mostly in how things are modeled by placing nodes in 3 dimensional space and connecting them with lines or plates.…
