The Pan Form Tables contain the Pan Form geometry information used to generate concrete pan joist and beam systems in the Modeler for design in RAM Concrete. The Pan Form Table is assigned in RAM Manager.

One Pan Form Table is provided with the RAM Structural System. RAMCECO.PNJ contains the pan form dimensions for pans produced by CECO Concrete, LLC. Tables for Pan forms produced by other suppliers can easily be created.

The Pan Form Tables are in text file format and can be edited, allowing the engineer to customize the tables. Pans may be listed in any convenient order. Sizes not included in the original files can be added and those that are not used can be removed.

It is recommended that edited files be given different names than the original files to distinguish them from the originals. Otherwise, a backup copy of the file should be made before editing so the original file can be recovered if desired.
