When modelling a square or rectangular column on a base plate, the program only considers weld along the flat portion of each HSS face. In my experience, these are welded all-around 99% of the time. It is especially important for smaller HSS shape...
Hi Bentley, Can we add a feature to highlight the slab based on the property (thickness, concrete grade, elevation etc.) + load applied on the slab. Kind regards, A.Garg
Hi Bentley, Can we please add a feature to import the PDF and images into Concept so that we can trace whatever is required like profiles, loads etc. Kind regards, A.Garg
Often, roofs are more complex than flat, full-plate diaphragms with uniform parapet heights on all sides. When a single parapet height assignment in RAM Frame isn't accurate enough, the user needs to define additional wind loads. I would like to m...
Move application of lateral nodal loads to RAM Frame
The lateral nodal loads aren't used until RAM Frame, so why should I have to go through RAM Steel Beam and Column checks every time I change one? These should be able to be applied and modified in the RAM Frame module. This would also help deletin...
In a ticket with Bentley Support, we were told that saving a Masonry Wall (*.msw) file directly to a network location is not a supported or recommended workflow. At the moment, when we create a new file and try to "save as" to a network location, ...
Enhance the temperature loads interaction with P-delta analysis
This idea is submitted on behalf of Chris Murphy, from Murphy Consulting Engineers The current temperature loads implementation can lead to situations where a model that doesn't exhibit any possible cause for instabilities or large second-order ef...
