Catalog excerpts

RAM Connection is the first fully integrated steel connection design and optimization tool in the industry. Designing, checking and optimizing steel shear, moment, gusset, splice and bracket connections, according to AISC ASD or LRFD, has never been this automated. Assign connections directly to the finite element model and have RAM Connection automatically consider member geometric and material properties, and the analytical results, to choose the best connection for you. The engineer has unlimited flexibility to check a specific connection or optimize all connections individually or in groups. RAM Connection works as a stand alone program or integrated with RAM Advanse, STAAD.Pro and the RAM Structural System. Your own office standards, rules of thumb or connection expertise can be brought together into the connection designs because RAM Connection allows you to customize a vast part of the design. RAM Connection also raises the bar with its break-through graphics. This feature allows accurate 3D view of fit-up >
