In this version, each joints are designed after they are selected as per each type but too many case should be designed manually. Interface of RAM is great but it takes much time to input all the data of joints.
Suggested as below;
1. Joint grouping.
2. Detailed joint property(information) is applied to each group(in this regards, detailed joint property could be defined beforehand, and applied and adjusted to their individual condition automatically)
3. Results, in table, should be shown as per joint informations with auxiliary data such as number of bolt, plate thickness and etc.
Above suggestion combined to recent version might make Ram more powerful solution.
Reply as below;
Yes.(The numbers of joints are grouped as per boundary condition(pin or fix, connected to girder, beam, or column.) and steel profies)
To all by selecting each group.
Yes, only governing cases for the number of bolts, the thickness of welding and thickness of plates(Rib, base, and etc.) included. Same member size and same boundary condition in same group should have same connection detail(same plate thickness, same bolt size and same welding size).
Hello , could you please elaborate a little bit more on this so we could understand totally what you need.
You need to create several joints of the same type. Different sizes?
You want to assign a connection to all these joints. You want just one connection, the best possible, assigned to all joints or a different connection per each joint?
Report indicating the parts for all these?
