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: Download Sbeam
Thanks. I don't actually see Ram SBeam on your contracts, but I'll double check with a sales person. Meanwhile you can always use RAM Structural System, Ram Steel with a very simple model to design a single beam. I like a 4 column 4 grid model that's…
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.…

RE: Ram Steel Column Optimization
I see. The way trial groups work is that the program sticks to one trial group (one nominal depth) for the whole height. It selects the lightest total column from up to 3 trial groups, so long as the design passes the code check at all stories. That's…
RE: Ram Steel Column Optimization
It sounds like you need to introduce splices. You can define splice levels in Modeler in the Story data , or you can override single column line splices in the Ram Steel Column module using Assign - Splicing...

RE: Using RAM for Moment and Shear on "Other" material member types
In the Steel Beam module, one can only get a diagram of the moments, shears and deflections via the Process - View/Update command - View diagrams, but this won't work for Other material beams. You can make the Other beams lateral members and report the…
Pin Connection at Gravity Column Receive Significant Moment

RE: Total beam length in steel beam module
RAM Steel always designs steel beams center to center of supports, unless you assign the beams to have offsets in the Modeler (Layout -> Beams -> Offsets). I usually use offsets to offset a beam laterally from a support, but you could also use offsets…
Total beam length in steel beam module
Is it possible in RAM Structural System/RAM Steel for it to design/analyze beams based on the length from column face to column face instead of center to center of column supports? I am back engineering a building that appears to have been designed to…

No. Beams are only allowed to be wide flange, rectangular tube or channels. If the member is not directly supporting the beck, but just happens to be horizontal, then using a horizontal brace would be advised. Otherwise making a square tube with equivalent…
