RAM Connection Product brochure

Product catalog summary

Overview: RAM Connection is a pioneering tool in the steel connection design and optimization industry. It automates the design, checking, and optimization of various steel connections such as shear, moment, gusset, splice, and bracket connections according to AISC ASD or LRFD standards.

Integration and Flexibility: The software integrates seamlessly with RAM Advanse, STAAD.Pro, and the RAM Structural System, allowing engineers to assign connections directly to finite element models. It automatically considers member geometric and material properties, as well as analytical results, to select the optimal connection. Engineers can customize designs based on office standards and personal expertise.

Advanced Features: RAM Connection offers breakthrough graphics for accurate 3D visualization of fit-up and clearance, reducing on-site connection issues. It supports a wide range of connection types, including beam-to-column flange, beam-to-column web, beam-to-girder, and more.

Specifications: The software supports AISC LRFD, ASD Chapter K connection checks, and AISC 2002 Seismic Provisions for moment connections. It provides extensive flexibility in controlling parameters such as connection materials, welds, bolts, and geometry.

Optimization and Checking: Users can optimize or check connections individually or in groups, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in structural design.

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 >
