Process - Export to Westok AutoMate

When BS 6399 is selected as the Building Code in RAM Manager, the option to export Westok Cellular Beams to Westok Ltd's AutoMate Design Software is available. This feature can be used to export the Cellular Beam and loading information from the RAM Structural System model to that software, where the Cellular Beam itself can be designed.

Process - Design All must be performed prior to this command being available.

  • To export a Cellular Beam or Steel Beam, select the Process - Export to Westok AutoMate command.
  • Select the beam to be exported with the target cursor.

A Save dialog box will open in which the name and location of the Cellular Beam file can be specified. By default the program uses the model name, an underscore ( _ ), the floor type, another underscore, and the beam number.

See the RAM Steel Beam Design manual for more information. Data that is exported to the Westok AutoMate software should be verified.
