RAM Concrete Beam Design makes use of data from the RAM Modeler, RAM Steel, RAM Frame and RAM Concrete Analysis. For this reason, any changes to the model within any of these modes will affect the RAM Concrete Beam status.

Issuing the command File > Model Status will bring up a dialog that explains the current status of the model. If the model is in a state such that it cannot be designed, an explanation of how to get the model to be designable is provided.
