Problem: Beam to column-web connections (BCW) sometimes require the bolt lines outside of the web space and beyond the flange lines. With double angles, the beam web must fit between the two angles, which becomes a fit-up and erection problem. Sin...

Weld group only calculates fillet welds. Seems like a simple addition to check partial penetration groove, flare bevel, and other welds.

It is especially needed for copped beams to the web of W columns connections with extended end plates.

much more stiffener plate type required for column baseplate joint calculation in RAM connection。

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...

Ram Connection provides output including "Geometric Considerations". The descriptive labels are incorrect. I suggest that Bentley, Ram Connection make corrections. The Output notes "external" and "internal" flanges. The Help section notes "top" an...

it is being used in piperacks design with cable trays and will be a big help to designers if this will be included in the next version

I have recently been requested to design a nonstandard profile splice joint. The profile consisted of double-up 200PFC. Unfortunately, RAM does not have this option. I had to take this task to the FEA and spend long time analysing connection. This...
