RAM SBeam and the RAM Structural System

RAM SBeam was extracted from and contains a subset of the design capabilities of the RAM Steel Beam design module of the [[RAM Structural System]].
 
The RAM Structural System provides tremendous value to the engineer in increased productivity, automating and integrating many tasks that must otherwise be performed manually by the engineer when using stand-alone programs such as RAM SBeam.
 
The RAM Structural System contains a model of the entire structure, not just individual beams. It automatically computes tributary loads to all members (beams, columns, walls, etc.); reduces the Live Load in accordance with applicable building codes; designs all beams, columns, baseplates and footings from the roof to the base; and performs wind and seismic analysis. Comprehensive calculations, CAD drawings and material take-off quantities can be obtained from the design of the entire structure. The entire structural database is managed by the RAM Structural System. For more information on the RAM Structural System, see the RAM Structural System website or contact Bentley Systems, Inc.

 Product(s):RAM Structural System
 Version(s):16.00 and greater
 Environment: Any
 Area: Licensing

What are the basic steps for activating a CONNECT Licensed Product like RAM Structural System v16?

RAM Structural System version 16.00 uses CONNECT licensing and this is different than prior version with SELECT Licensing. We have written a Guide to help in understanding CONNECT Licensing. You must be signed into Communities to download it.

There are a few basic steps to activate the product and these steps can help in understanding any problems that might occur:

  1. Make sure the CONNECTION Client is installed and running, and that you are signed in
  2. If you can open Ram Manager go to Tools - Manage Licenses to launch the Bentley Licensing Tool (you can also launch the tool from the Windows Start menu)
  3. Confirm that your sign in is recognized there in the upper left corner
  4. If the Ram Products are not listed under Entitlements go through Tools - Refresh policy
  5. Tom complete the activation use Tools - Activation Wizard.

For a further explanation of the activation process see: How to Activate products under CONNECT Licensing

For more advanced troubleshooting, it's useful to Collect and send License client logs

Revision 1 posted to RAM | STAAD Wiki by Allen Adams on 2/11/2019 4:35:50 PM

RAM Structural System CONNECT Edition Version 16.00.01 CL Release Notes

Anticipated Release Date: February 2019

This is a patch version to V16.00, prompted by two obscure defects that when encountered, although rare, had a big impact. Several other defects have also been corrected.

This is an Appendix to the V16.00 Release Notes. See the Release Notes for V16.00 for important information not contained here.

This document contains important information regarding changes to the RAM Structural System. It is important that all users are aware of these changes. Please distribute these Release Notes and make them available to all users of the RAM Structural System.

Occasionally last-minute changes or corrections are not included in these release notes. Updated release notes can be found at: https://communities.bentley.com and search for “v16.00.01”.

 

Error Corrections:

Some program errors have been corrected for this version. Corrections made to graphics, reports, Modeler functions, program crashes, etc., that were considered minor are not listed here. The noteworthy error corrections are listed here in order to notify you that they have been corrected or to assist you in determining the impact of those errors on previous designs. These errors were generally obscure and uncommon, affecting only a very small percentage of models, or had no impact on the results. The errors, when they occurred, were generally quite obvious. However, if there is any question, it may be advisable to reanalyze previous models to determine the impact, if any. In each case the error only occurred for the precise conditions indicated. Those errors that may have resulted in unconservative designs are shown with an asterisk. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Database Converter

LOAD CASE CORRUPTION: For models containing load cases with very long "Type" labels, the load case data was corrupted when the database was converted from an older version to a newer version. This was rare, but when it occurred it was usually associated with Merged Load Cases.

Effect: The model was unusable in RAM Frame. Note: The model can be fixed by reconverting from the original model.

Licensing

RAM STEEL BEAM FAILED TO LAUNCH: On some machines CONNECT Licensing was causing the RAM Steel Beam module to crash when it was launched.

Effect: RAM Steel Beam module couldn’t be run.

RAM Steel Beam

AISC 360 STUD DUCTILITY: In a very rare moment configuration the program may have given a design warning indicating that the beam "Cannot fit enough studs to satisfy Commentary requirements for stud ductility.", even when the beam was an optimized size. The program was correctly designing the beam and studs but was incorrectly issuing the warning message.

Effect: Correct design but incorrect design warning. Note that when that message was given it was almost always correct, except for the rare moment configuration case.

RAM Steel Column

CAN/CSA S16-09/14 HSS COLUMN OPTIMIZATION*: When the Rectangular or Circular HSS shape was investigated according to the CAN S16-09 and CAN S16-14 codes, the program failed to optimize a size.

Effect: Columns assigned a Rectangular or Circular HSS shape could not be optimized to the CAN/CSA S16-09 and CAN S16-14 design codes. In determining the design fy, a wide-flange shape criteria was erroneously considered rather than that of a rectangular or circular HSS shape.

RAM Concrete Shear Wall

SECTION CUTS: In some cases (random), the program didn’t allow a section cut to be made at the location specified by the user.

Effect: Section cut couldn’t be made at the desired location.

RAM Frame – Analysis

USER-DEFINED SEISMIC LOAD AND OTHER ON SEMI-RIGID DIAPHRAGM*: When a user-defined Seismic load (or user-defined Other type load) was applied to a semirigid diaphragm, the center of mass information was incorrectly considered.

Effect: Applied load on a semi-rigid diaphragm did not accurately reflect eccentric loading for the aforementioned load cases.

TWO-WAY SLAB AT FRAME WALLS SUPPORTING GRAVITY WALLS AND COLUMN ABOVE*: Two-way slab deflections at lateral frame walls that supported gravity walls or columns above were incorrect. This was because the mesh generated for the two-way slab and the mesh generated for the lateral wall were not compatible (i.e., the slab and the wall were not connected to each other at the same mesh points). This occurred only for the slab overhangs (slab edges).

Effect: Incorrect interaction between lateral wall and slab for the slab overhang portion, when the wall supported a gravity wall or column at locations along the wall other than the wall ends.

WIND LOAD ON SEMI_RIGID DIAPHRAGM: In very rare cases, the program projected large wind loads on slab edges where tangent to slab edge geometry is close to almost zero.

Effect: Very large point loads were applied at locations where tangent to slab edge geometry is close to almost zero.

EN 1991-1-4 WIND: Wind forces were not calculated if Distance to Sea was specified as greater than 100km or Distance in Town was specified as greater than 20km. Figure NA.3 of the UK National Annex was implemented, but that figure only gives values up to 100 km. Figure NA.4 was implemented, but that figure only gives values up to 20 km. However the figure indicates “≥ 100”, so for Distance to Sea greater than 100 km, the value for 100 km is used. Similar for Distance in Town.

Effect: Wind forces weren’t generated for values greater than 100 km or 10 km, respectively.

DIAPHRAGM FORCES: The program returned an error when diaphragm forces were calculated for a user-defined cross-section over a diaphragm in which all members were lowered or elevated by the same amount. Note that for this case the diaphragm was still horizontal because all members were lowered (or raised) by the same amount

Effect: The program didn't calculate cross-section forces for the diaphragm with the aforementioned configuration.

ANALYSIS RESULTS DIAGRAM: For beams with SidePlate connections, the analysis result diagram plotted the force\moment diagram incorrectly within the rigid-end-zone locations at the ends of the beam.

Effect: The defect was only when displaying force\moment diagrams in Analysis Results Diagram dialog.

SBC 94 WIND LOAD CASES: SBC Wind Load cases did not generate correctly.

Effect: SBC 94 Wind Loads couldn’t be generated.

RAM Frame – Steel Seismic Provisions

AISC 341-16 F4.5a BRBF-V SLENDERNESS REQUIREMENTS: Beam and Column Frame Types designated BRBF-V were evaluated for slenderness using Highly Ductile rather than Moderately Ductile requirements.

Effect: Although member code checks for beam and column frame types designated BRBF-V were correctly performed, slenderness requirements under AISC 341-16 Section F4.5a were checked using Highly Ductile rather than Moderately Ductile limits.

RAM Foundation

OPTION TO INCLUDE MOMENT DUE TO SHEAR: On the Design tab in the Criteria – Design command there is an option to Include Moment Due to Shear in Column. If this option was not selected the moment was included anyway, and if the option was selected the moment was included twice (doubled).

Effect: For foundations under Frame columns the overturning moment due to the shear at the base of the column was included even if the option wasn’t selected, and doubled if the option was selected, resulting in over-sized footings.

REQUIRED MOMENT CAPACITY*: For a very rare configuration the program correctly gave a design warning, but incorrectly listed an infinite value for the moment capacity for footings that had a part under tension due to uplift and then graphically showed the footing as passing.

Effect: Very rare situation, and a warning message was given when the footing was designed, but the footing was subsequently displayed as passing.

ACI REINFORCEMENT SPACING WARNINGS: When checking spacing requirements for user-specified bars in spread footing, incorrect bar spacing messages may have been given.

Effect: Incorrect warnings given for user-specified reinforcement.

RAM SS - Steel Beam Deflection and Camber

What is the relationship of initial deflection and camber?

The Criteria - Camber and Criteria - Deflection criteria together determine if beams will get cambered in the program design. Refer to the Ram Steel Beam manual, section 10.13 for details on exactly how this is done, below is an example for the most common case, Unshored, Composite Construction.

This example uses default camber and deflection criteria:

 

Which means that beams will be cambered if and only if, the deflection caused from 80% of the applied Construction Dead load is greater than 0.25".

The beam in question is a 20' long girder and the CDL stems from the beam and deck self weight. With 100% of that load considered acting on the pre-composite unshored beam, the deflection is 1.061" downward at mid-span. The deflection due to 80% of the CDL is therefore 0.8 * 1.061 = 0.85". Thus the program cambers 0.75" which is 3 times the 0.25" camber increment.

The Live load deflection is calculated using the composite properties (Ieff) and is therefore a smaller total deflection even though the applied loads may be more than the CDL. This Live load may already be reduced if the beam tributary area is large enough. Construction live loads are used in the Pre-composite strength check of the beam only, not in the initial deflection check.

The Post Composite value is also based on the composite beam effective inertia. The Post Composite load considered is any dead load above and beyond the CDL plus the Live Load. This is often referred to as the superimposed load. 

Thus the Net Total load can be calculated using the formula:

Net Total deflection = Initial defl + Post Composite delf - Camber

In the case above that is 

0.759 = 1.061 + 0.448 - 0.75

It's also worth noting that the initial deflection in this case is large enough to surpass the common L/240 deflection limits for dead loads, but that's OK because there is no limit on initial deflections (using our default deflection criteria). So long as the Live load deflection and Net Total deflection limits are OK, no warning will be given.

It is also worth noting that even with camber, this beam theoretically deflects 1.061 " - 075" = 0.311 inches during construction. The program does not increase the construction dead load to account for the additional topping concrete that might occur from such ponding. The applied loads should manually be increased where this is a concern.

Does the program check the cumulative deflection of a beam and the supporting beam?

No, Ram Steel beam only checks the local deflection of the beams, not the cumulative deflection of the beams plus the deflection of the supports. 

Can I turn off Camber on specific beams?

The Criteria - Camber controls whether to camber or not camber composite beams or non-composite beams for the whole model. In cases where you want no camber on specific beams consider adding a special deflection criteria with an initial deflection limit equal or less than the minimum camber and assign that deflection criteria to the beam in question: 

Are transfer loads from columns or hangers affecting composite beams considered pre-composite or post-composite?

All transfer dead and live loads affecting composite beams are part of the post-composite design. For transfer columns, that typically makes sense since the lower level composite beam should be hardened by the time the upper level is loaded. For hanging columns it's not so clear cut, but the transfer load is still only considered in the post-composite design in Ram Steel.

Transfer loads do not include the column self-weight since column design typically takes place after beam design. A point load for the estimated column self-weight is advised.

I have input a composite beam but it is designed with 0 studs, which deflection criteria are used?

In the case where a composite beam is designed non-compositely (i.e. with 0 studs), the deflection checks are performed using the non-composite deflection criteria. For more on reasons why composite beam are design without any studs, refer to Ram Steel Beams FAQ.

Current Revision posted to RAM | STAAD Wiki by Seth Guthrie on 2/19/2019 8:28:07 PM
 Applies To 
 Product:Ram Steel 
First Affected Version:16.00.00.28
 Found in Version:16.00.00.28
Released in Version:16.00.01.06
 Area: Installation, Licensing
 Issue #:996411

Problem Description

After installing version 16.00 the Ram Steel beam module may crash for any file while checking the license. The user can be signed in, and all other modules work as designed, even Ram Steel Column. 

Reason

The Steel Beam module uses older 'C code' and one of the calls to the Licensing component fails. It does not affect all machines, only some. So far the machines with a problem all run Windows 7 x64, but some machines with that exact operating system are OK. 

Solution

The problem is resolved in version 16.00.01.06

 Applies To 
 Product(s):RAM Structural System, RAM Concrete, RAM Frame, RAM Steel
 Version(s):14.06.00.00
 Area: Various; Installation

Note:  Version 14.06.01 is now available for download. Instructions for downloading installation files can be found here:

Software Download Instructions 

RAM Frame In-Core Direct Solver

Problem:  Analysis time with the In-Core Direct Solver (selected in RAM Frame - Criteria - General, see figure below) is significantly slower in v14.06 than in earlier versions.

Work Around:  Analyze using the In-Core Direct Sparse Solver.

Resolution:  This issue was resolved in v14.06.01.

RAM Concrete Shear Wall Performance

Problem:  In the 64-bit version, models take a significant amount of time to load into the module. Other operations, like assigning wall groups and running the designs, are significantly slower.

Work Around:  Install the 32-bit version. Note that this can affect integration with RAM Concept. See following web page:

RAM Concept-RAM SS Integration

Resolution:  This issue was resolved in v14.06.01.

Fixed Braces and Calculated Reactions and Story Shears

Problem:  If braces are not pinned, the moment and shears in the brace member is not accounted for in the calculated reactions, frame story shears, and building story shears.

Work Around: None.

Resolution:  This issue was resolved in v14.06.01.

Column and Footing DXF

Problems:  When changing the Color/Layer options in the Footing Schedule tab, a crash occurs. When attempting to create the dxf, an “Error Opening Master Table” error appears:

After clicking Ok and trying to generate the DXF again, a series of “Key Already Present…” errors similar to the one below appears:

After clicking OK to bypass these errors and generate the DXF again, no file is created.

Work Around:  None

Resolution:  This issue was resolved in v14.06.01.

CAN/CSA S16-09 Minimum Composite

Problem:  The S16-09 Specification permits a percent composite as low as 40% when using composite action for the strength requirements, but the program was using a minimum of 50%.

Work Around:  None.

Resolution:  This issue was resolved in v14.06.01.

CAN/CSA S16-09 Modular Ratio, ns

Problem:  In the calculation of shrinkage deflection the modular ratio nt is used in S16-01 but the modular ratio ns is used in S16-09. These values are quite different. The program allows for the user to specify nt in Criteria – Canada Parameters in the RAM Manager but there is nowhere to specify ns. The program, without indicating so in the user interface, is using the value specified for nt for ns when designing per S16-09.

Work Around:  When designing per S16-09, input the correct value of ns where nt is input. Note that S16-09 doesn’t use nt, so there is no conflict with inputting the one value for the other.

Resolution:  This issue has been resolved in v14.06.01. The program will internally calculate ns, it will not need to be specified by the user.

Defaults Utility setting for Snow vs. Roof Live load reversed

Problem:  If the option "Consider Snow Loads, Ignore Roof Live Loads" is selected in the default utility, then roof live loads are incorrectly considered and snow loads are ignored in new models. If the option "Consider Roof Live Loads, Ignore Snow Loads" is selected in the default utility, then snow are considered and roof live loads are ignored in new models. In other words, the setting works in reverse.

The selected setting for each model under Criteria - Member Loads works correctly, it is only the default setting for new models that is reversed. 

Resolution:  This issue was resolved in v14.06.01.

ISM - Update Repository Does Not Add New Items

Problem:  When updating an ISM repository from RAM SS, members or properties that were added to the RAM SS file are not added to the repository. This includes new beams, braces or composite beam stud zones to name a few.

Work Around:  This issue was resolved in v14.06.01.

When I try to create a new file, I get an error regarding tables.

Problem: When I try to create a new file, I get the following error:

"The specified Default Castellated Smartbeam Table (ramuk) could not be found, and neither was the table corresponding to the current setting from RAM Defaults (ramuk)."

Solution:

  • Go to tools - Ram Defaults Utility (click OK if you get a message)
  • Scroll down to Steel Beam defaults
  • Double Click Steel Beam Tables options
  • Make sure you have a valid selection, then click next and next until done with the tables part.

Note, with version 14.06.00.00 tables now get saved with the file which is a new thing. If you try to convert a model from an older version and the custom tables used with the original file are not present on the PC converting the file you can get similar error.

When I convert a v14.05 file with embedded Concept files, all design strips are missing.

Problem:  Embedded RAM Concept files are deleted during file conversion when v14.05 are opened in RAM Concept for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. This removes all design strips and any other modified data, like changes made to slab areas or beams, that were saved with the file.

Work Around:   

1. Open the file in v14.06 and convert the file to the new version format.

2. Open Windows Explorer and find the .zip file with "Orig v14.5" at the end of the file name that is automatically created during the conversion process. Double click on the file. Find the embedded .cpt files. The file name will be same as ram model with .cpt###E at the end. Copy the files to the clipboard.

3. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the working directory (C:\Program Data\Bentley\Engineering\RAM Structural
System\Data\Working). Paste the embedded .cpt files from the v14.5 backup into this folder.

4. Launch RAM Concept from RAM Manager.

Resolution:  This issue was resolved in v14.06.01.
