RAM Connection CONNECT Edition V13 Update 1 x64 | 677 MB
Bentley Systems Incorporated is pleased to announce the availability of RAM Connection CONNECT Edition V13 Update 1 is the first fully integrated steel connection design and optimization application in the industry.
RAM Connection CE Update 1 (buld 13.01.00.76) Release Notes – Date: June 2019
New NZS3404-1997 New Zealand steel design standard for connection design.
This release includes the next shear and moment connections:
NZS3404 – Shear Connections:
– Web side plate
– Flexible end plate
– Double angle web cleats
– Bolted cover web splice plate
– Bolted / welded seat
NZS3404 – Moment Connections:
– Base plate
– Flange plate
– Bolted end plate
– Bolted end plate splice
– Bolted cover flange splice
– Welded beam to column
New AISC360 directly welded connections for knee and apex joints for tapered and haunched beams.
Beam to column directly welded connection (knee joint)
Beam splice directly welded connection (apex joint)
Resolved Issues:
– Some *.rcnx files were not saved properly which was causing errors when rendering reports. This was corrected, and the SQL file format is saved properly now.
– AS 4100 base plate design with custom anchors was causing the application to crash when all anchors were deleted. Now the design and optimization ignore the fasteners design for this case.
– EN 1993 bolted end plate was showing zero capacity for Class 4 beams as the effective section modulus was not being calculated. This is fixed now.
– AISC 360 single plate design was not considering correctly the eccentricity when manual option was selected. Now, regardless the single plate configuration, if the user selects manual, the design will consider the eccentricity value entered.
– RAM Connection for RAM Structural System was not mapping correctly T2L and T2LU for horizontal bracing connections. This is fixed now.
RAM Connection, a steel connection design application, is fully integrated with RAM Structural System, RAM Elements, and STAAD.Pro. RAM Connection can check or design connections in seconds. RAM Connection provides comprehensive analysis and design of virtually any connection type and the designs include the tedious seismic code provision requirements. Workflows are optimized with integration of 3D design and detailing models and through the ability to customize the program.
– Design and optimize any connection type included in the AISC specifications, including both ASD and LRFD. Connection types include shear and moment connections, braced frame connections, and column and beam splices. Seismic provisions for moment and braced frames are also incorporated.
– A single connection can be designed and duplication of effort and errors can be minimized with the integration of 3D design and detailing models. Utilize your RAM Structural System, RAM Elements, and STAAD.Pro design models with RAM Connection for seamless connection design of your entire structure.
– RAM Connection includes base plates for almost any kind of column support. Choose between uniaxial or biaxial analysis, design the base plate per AISC 360-05 (additional seismic check per AISC 341-05 included), design the anchor bolts per ACI 318-05 appendix D in seconds, and get all the detailed reports and structural details you need for your base plate designs.
– RAM Connection provides flexibility due to its easily customizable interface. Conform to your office standards by entering your own connection tables and rules-of-thumb. Modifying the standard connection databases lets companies incorporate their expertise right into the program.
