Not all information stored in a RAM Structural System database can be transferred into RAM Concept.
RAM Concept models RAM Structural System data using one of the following building codes:
ACI 318-99, ACI 318-02, ACI 318-05, ACI 318-08, ACI 318-11, ACI 318-14, AS
3600:2001, AS 3600:2009, Eurocode 2:2004, CAN/CSA A23.3-04, or BS 8110:1997. A RAM
Structural System database that has live load reduction set to China GB or Hong Kong
will be imported using the BS 8110: 1997 building code; a live load reduction
setting of NBC of Canada will be imported using the CAN/CSA A23.3-04 standard;
otherwise the building code set in RAM Concrete is used to set the RAM Concept code. The building code can be changed, if necessary after the importation is
complete.
RAM Concept does not model beam fixity.
RAM Concept models a column end as fixed if the RAM Structural System column is fixed along either its major or minor axis.
RAM Concept only models walls of constant height. RAM Concept will create a wall with the average height of the RAM Structural System wall.
The lateral loads applied to the structure in RAM Frame Analysis are not imported.
RAM Concept ignores holes in walls modeled in RAM Structural System version 10.
