Separate Analysis per load

Many times I will change one load, for example a seismic load which is palced at the Ridge. Then I have to reanalyze and redesign the entire model, every load case. There should be a way to analyze only the affected load cases and redesign only th...

• Does RAM Connection support Box Columns (Double ISMB/ISMC) with strengthening plates for moment-resisting or shear connections? (see attached drawing) • Can RAM Connection be customized for specific load cases, codes, or connection types? · Can RAM Connection design connections for base plates and bracing using Box Columns with strengthening plates?

It could be useful for companies like Spray Engineering, Cheema Boilers etc. Composite Connections are also in demand.
