RAM Frame - Shear Wall Analysis Module

Whether your shear walls have opening in them or not, the RAM Frame - Shear Wall Analysis module can be used to get more precise information about the force in the lateral walls.

To start the Shear Wall Analysis Module:

  • Select Process > Results > Wall Analysis Results.

The program launches a separate application in the 3D view akin to the Steel Column module. Most of the actions in this mode are done from an elevation view of a shear wall.

  • Select View > Elevation and select the wall elevation on Grid F.
Note: If you start this program from an elevation view in the RAM Frame analysis mode, the same elevation will automatically come up.
