Workspace RAM Elements

I checked with Bentley support team for design of Concrete column in RAM Elelments. As i can see the design can be performed in two different ways.

  1. Output - Output - Design – Reinforced concrete – Members

  2. Concrete column module.

  3. But the Bentley team suggested checking the column design under the concrete column module. In this way, only the program gives detailed design reports. But it looks very tedious. Since we can design only one column at a time. It will take a lot of time to complete this task. Please share your thoughts on this.

    Yes, I agree with you. However, the second method will be time-consuming. It will take a lot of time to perform the design of all the columns. Please share your thoughts on this.

    Hello, correct, for number one RAM Elements will provide a required reinforcement area, while when using the Concrete Column module the user can define the reinforcement as required and then produce detailed reports and details. We have planned to use the same approach to design all columns in a model but still we will need the user input to get this done correctly. Is this what you need?
