The interface between RAM elements and RAM Concept.
The interface between RAM elements and RAM Concept. I have modeled the complete structure in RAM elements. I have designed the isolated and combined footings. Unfortunately, RAM elements do not support the combined footing with 3 or more columns. ...
Applying lateral line loads over a beams or columns under Wind load case
Applying lateral line loads over beams or columns under Wind load case. Can we apply line loads over beams or columns under the Wind load case? Attached snip for ref. Since grid A is the outer face of the building we have a roof canopy beyond grid...
In RAM Modeler, the Layout>Slab>Slab Penetration Layout dialog box is not adjustable - it would be beneficial to be able to make this view different sizes when you work on a project with a large amount of slab penetrations. For example the a...
SELECTING AN END POINT FOR BEAM EXTENSION CANTILEVER
There is only an option of inserting cantilever length or provide X or Y intercept for beam extension. It would be useful to have an option of selecting an end point like stubs.
Flexibility in modifying the tributary height for Wind Load exposure for buildings with varying levels of diaphragms
RAM wind load currently gets applied taking the trib height as half the difference between the two levels. It would be tremendously useful if there was an option to modify the trib height, thereby playing with full height or partial height exposur...
When running schematic designs, I want to reset sizes when adding additional lateral frames. Currently, the only way to clear out sizes is to fence plan by plan. It would be much faster to do this by elevation.
a. Integration with Revit (similar to RAM Structural System, see above).
b. Integration with Hilti, Simpson, or Dewalt for base plate design modules (see RAM Elements above).
c. Adding in the ability to design non-standard steel connections woul...
