Important notice regarding version compatibility
Starting with RAM Structural System version 14.06 and Ram Concept version 5.1, both programs are offered as either 32 or 64 bit applications. In order to integrate the two programs using the methods described in this wiki both must be alike in this regard, so be consistent and install the 32 or 64 bit versions of both applications.
On My SELECT CD, the 64 bit versions are labeled with the x64 suffix. The 32 bit versions have no suffix. The 32 bit versions will work on either a 32 bit or 64 bit machine, but the 64 bit versions require a 64 bit operating system.
Embedded RAM Concept files are deleted during file conversion when v14.05 files are opened in RAM Concept for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions in v14.06.00. The problem was resolved in v14.06.01. Users who are running v14.06.00 can work around the problem by doing the following:
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.
