What Load Combinations are passed from RAM Structural System to Ram Connection?

When Ram Connection for RAM SS is launched the program pulls the load combinations from Ram Frame Steel - Standard Provisions. Combinations from the Ram Frame - Steel - Seismic Provisions mode are also imported when that mode is current (green light for model status).

The user can override this with the Load Combinations ribbon menu dialog box launcher as indicated below.

If this option is unchecked, then Load Combinations need to be added within Ram Connection using Add/edit or Generate in the same ribbon menu.

Why do I get an error, "None load combinations could be read from the model."

Since the program is trying to pull the combinations from RAM Frame, this error will occur for all gravity models that do not have any Ram Frame combinations defined. To proceed in such a model, uncheck the option to "Include RAM Frame - Steel Provisions Mode load combinations as noted above, then manually define or generate new load combinations.
