RAM Elements CONNECT Edition v16.02.00.xx Release
Notes – Updated October 2019

Enhancements:

1. New options to automatically mesh members to perform P-δ analysis. The analysis dialogs now includes two options to configure how the members will be automatically segmented. This could be done by either defining the Minimum number of segments or the Maximum length of segments which will be used to automatically mesh members using these two options.

2. New wind load definitions to assign member and area wind loads. Now it is possible to create a wind load definition to generate wind loads for members and areas. The definitions allow to re-generate loads when needed and report the wind loads calculations when required which was not possible before as the report was only available from the wind loads dialog.

3. New load data report. Now it is possible not only possible to customize the loads report sections but also the report order by just drag and drop the elements in the order needed.

Resolved Issues:

  • USACE strong name verification for some libraries (DLL). This has been corrected and all of them pass the verification.

  • Several overhauls for High DPI monitors (4K) were included for icons, panels and dialogs.

  • Deflections for Tilt-Up walls were not in agreement with ACI 551.2R for ACI 318-14. This is fixed and results now match the benchmark problems.

  • Moment capacity for single axis (compact) calculations, was inaccurate for built-up and custom sections. This has been corrected and the capacity is now accurate.

  • Some old format model files (*.AVW and *.ADV) were not being converted correctly to the latest format (*.RETX). This now works properly for all legacy formats.

  • The shear capacity for tapered members when shear stiffeners are present, required tension field action (TFA) in order to be correct. This is now mended, and the capacity is correct even if no TFA is present.

  • For custom cold-formed sections, the slenderness for shear capacity was considering the wrong section thickness. The proper thickness is now included in the calculation.
