RAM Concept has a function that exports wall and column reactions to the RAM Structural System.This export capability allows RSS to use RAM Concept 's accurate load distribution to calculate wall, column and foundation gravity forces. The export capability also allows RSS to consider the effects of floor tendons on columns and walls for post-tensioned structures.

This export capability only applies to elevated slab models created in RAM Concept by importing from the RAM Structural System.

The RAM Concept force export function transfers column and wall reactions to the RAM Structural System database.

The export only sets the wall and column reactions for the end of the columns and/or walls that are touching the elevated slab. Exporting of reactions does not affect the support axial force of walls and columns above the slab. The structure above the column or wall determines the axial force.

RAM Concept only exports reactions from gravity loadings imported from RSS back to RSS. For example, if you add "Swimming Pool Loading" to a RAM Concept file, the export function will not transfer reactions from that loading to RSS.
