Learning RAM Concept

The RAM Concept design process could be considered to comprise six stages:

Defining the concrete form (**)
Drawing loads (*)
Defining design strips (*****)
Defining tendons (if used) (***)
Interpreting results (****)
Optimization of tendons (only for post-tensioning with cloud computing services) (****)

The (**) rating is meant to indicate relative degree of difficulty, or relative time you would expect to spend on the stage.

You should not use RAM Concept for final design without a sufficient grounding in concrete design, or adequate understanding of the program.

The manual contains a large amount of information. Ideally, you should read it all, but this may not be practical. We recommend that you do the tutorials and read critical chapters.
