RAM Structural System Help

Load Cases

Load Cases are used to determine the magnitude of the wind, seismic, dynamic, notional and other user-defined lateral loads acting on the structure. These load cases are later used in combination during post-processing to explore the acceptability of the design.

Selecting Loads > Load Cases opens the Load Cases dialog.

Gravity load cases generated from the load data in RAM Modeler are listed in the Load Cases list box. These gravity load cases cannot be edited or deleted in RAM Frame.

Clicking OK returns you to RAM Frame and saves all additions, modifications and deletions made to the Load Cases. Clicking Cancel returns you to RAM Frame without saving changes.
