Distribution plots are created using the Bending Moment Distribution tool (), Vertical Shear Distribution tool (), Axial Force Distribution tool () and Selected Plot Distribution tool (). These plots display predictions of values along the lines drawn across the slab. RAM Concept bases these predictions on the calculated results of the individual elements.

RAM Concept ’s calculation method guarantees that the results for design strip segments and design sections are in equilibrium with the nodal loads. The results for plots across elements are not necessarily exact, however, and can be much less accurate for coarse meshes or elements with high aspect ratios. Even though RAM Concept 's calculation method guarantees stored elastic energy of the stresses in each element is equal to the energy of the loads applied to the element, for some oddly shaped elements (such as pointy triangles), the energy formulation can result in local fictitious stress spikes. Note that this limitation does not affect design strip segments or design sections and does not affect RAM Concept ’s reinforcement calculations.
