RAM Structural System Help

To generate a gravity beam loads report

To generate a report of all gravity beam loads to assist in gravity beam design for the structure in a separate program, use the following procedure.

Before this report can be generated, the framing tables must be "built". Do this by invoking any one of the design modules.

This report is useful to those who will be designing gravity beams by means other than the RAM Steel Beam module and is not normally needed by those who will be using RAM Steel Beam.

The Gravity Loads on Beams Report is organized by story level. Span coordinates, beam length and loading information is provided for each beam in each story.

  1. Either:

    select Post-Processing > Gravity Beam Loads

    or

    select the Gravity Beam Loads tool

    The report is generated in the current target.

  2. For Screen reports:
    1. (Optional) Select the Print tool to print the report.
    2. Select the Close Preview tool to close the report.
