I am modeling a 5 story steel moment frame. One of my diaphragms is failing with P-Delta. I have went through the trouble shooting process of turning off P-Delta and running dead load, which is running fine. I can run wind and seismic without P-Delta…

We are designing a large warehouse type building with joist girder moment frames in both directions (however no columns are acting biaxially in frames). This is a large footprint building and thus lots of frames. We need to extract end moments (dead…

Hi, I am trying to model a fixed-fixed beam in RAM Structural System but the moment diagram shows it as a simple beam. I assigned the framing members as lateral members and assigned the fixity as shown. Is there something I'm missing? Any help would…

Hi Team, I have a steel structure having the LFRS as steel moment frames. Now I have started modelling the grade beams as per the RAM SS guidelines, but I have the following queries : It says that the supporting short column should be pinned at…

Hi, I wanted to see what everyone's preferred workflow is in RAM SS for extracting the moment reactions for each beam in a moment frame to add to your documentation? To my knowledge I don't think there is a report available to give the max/ min moments…

How are axial forces determined in moment frames in RAM Frame? I have a 45' tall structure with a partial mezzanine. The roof is modeled as semirigid and the mezzanine is modeled as rigid. The mezzanine area has moment frames while the full height area…

I have modeled two story building that part of it has the second floor taller than the adjacent part by 3'-0". so columns on the grid line between parts will be connected to beams on both sides that are different in elevations. when I modeled that in…
