Printer
|
Select this option to have the reports
sent directly to the printer (without previewing). |
Screen
|
Select this option to have the reports
displayed on screen. Reports are previewed on the screen in a
non-editable viewer. The viewer has toolbar buttons that allow
printing, zooming in and out, navigating through the pages of the
report, and closing the preview.
|
Text File
|
Select this option to have the reports
saved to a comma delimited text file. Report information is sent to a
file. The user can choose between a simple text file
(.txt) or a comma-separated value files
(.csv). This is the only option that does
not use the other user selected report styles. One font is used for
all sections of the report and all formatting is removed. However,
commas are in place to separate table columns so that the file can
be imported into a spreadsheet program.
|
Viewer File
|
Select this option to have the reports
saved to the report viewer file format. This provides the ability to
view the report without running the any of the RAM Structural System
modules. Reports are saved to the Virtual Print Engine file format
(.vpe). These files can only be opened with
vpeview.exe, which is distributed with the
RAM Structural System and
installed in the same directory as the program.
This format allows reports to be saved and later viewed on-screen
outside the RAM Structural System.

Opens the General Criteria report, which includes
criteria specified in the criteria menu including the engineers
selection of tables, member loads (live load reduction, roof loads),
self weight and self mass. |

Foundation Loads > |
Gravity Forces from RAM Steel |
Opens the Foundation Load Summary Report
for steel members. In all RAM Structural System design modules, the gravity surface
loads applied in the Modeler are automatically distributed to the
supporting beams and walls. All beams are assumed to be simple spans
(not continuous between adjacent spans). The reactions from the
beams are carried down the supporting columns (through each level)
and are available at the base of the structure to load the
foundations. This gravity analysis does not consider the continuity
of any of the beams, gravity or lateral, steel or other
material.
|
Gravity Forces from RAM Concrete |
Opens the Foundation Load Summary Report
for concrete members.
In RAM Concrete, the user has the option of specifying continuity conditions for all concrete and 'other' type beams. These continuity conditions along with the assigned section properties and applied loads are used to calculate the gravity forces and reactions on all the supporting columns. The column forces are accumulated down the structure and are available at the base of the structure to load the foundation. Gravity wall axial loads also transferred down the structure to the foundation in the Concrete Analysis.
