RAM Structural System Help

To start RAM Frame

To perform 3D frame analysis and design of lateral load resisting steel members, use RAM Frame.

RAM Frame performs a finite element analysis on the lateral framing systems of the currently selected model, using the currently specified criteria. Load case and combination generators, a drift analyzer, steel stress check post processors and other tools help the engineer arrive quickly at an optimal frame design. A variety of on-screen view options are available for investigating the results of an analysis. Numerous output reports are available which are designed to be included with the Building Calculations.
Either:

select the Frame Design tool

or

select Design > RAM Frame

or

press <Ctrl+F>

The RAM Frame window opens. Refer to the RAM Frame manuals and online help for details on using this module.
