Principle of user interaction:
The philosophy of commands (actions) of the program is to select and implement, ie, to perform any operation, you must first select the elements (nodes, members or plates) and then execute the respective command. This allows you to run commands that affect only the selected members, facilitating the creation of models, particularize reports, etc.
All the tools provided by the program to facilitate the entry and generation of data as well as viewing and printing of results are guided by this philosophy.
Design in RAM Advanse
RAM Advansa Another philosophy that has taken to either the design of steel structures, reinforced concrete or wood, is the trial and error. The engineer defines the properties (ie sections and materials), and the program checks the members get a list of efforts that the condition of each item. After each cycle of testing, the user is free to change or confirm the properties with or without the application of many tools developed for this purpose. The most important benefit of this procedure is that the user has complete control of designing the structure and the certainty that their needs are being met.
New Features:
1. Panear new way to view and rotate the wheel while pressing the mouse right click according to general applications of drawing.
2. New module design trusses: This new module allows you to analyze and design of wood or metal trusses in minutes. This module optimizes the sizes of the members to maintain the outside dimensions of the trusses and includes a report design of critical members.
3. New and improved shoe design module: The module can now be used as a standalone program or integrated with RAM Advansa. In addition to allowing the design of insulated pads, brake shoes also can design combined with the standard ACI 318-05.
4. New module design concrete walls: This module replaces the previous module walls increased cutting capacity and a new interface. The module can now consider out-of-plane loads and has an option to design wall bending, cutting wall or a combination of both.
5. AISC 360-05 design standard for structural steel (ASD and LRFD methods). We have developed a new component to the design that includes stiffeners armed sections of cut and other improvements.
6. Design standard AF & PA National Design Specification (NDS) for wood from the 2005 edition, which incorporates not only the method but also the ASD LRFD method. The provisions also include the variation of resistance according to the size of the species section for Southern Pine.
7. Design standard AISI North American Specification for the design of cold bending steel in 2001 which includes the 2004 supplement. Include ASD and LRFD methods (LSD method to be available in Canada in April 2008), in addition to the crushing of the soul and wing option subject to floor or ceiling.
8. New memory management: The ability to analyze large models is back. With the implementation of the new scanning engine (FE RAM ™) version 7.0, some very large models gave a memory error. This problem has been solved with a sophisticated memory management to analyze large models and far more quickly.
9. Improvements in the form of walls basculates: After the introduction of the first version of this module, many users around the world has provided us feedback that has enabled us to improve the design of high fashion. Ew this is definitely the best version available in the industry
10. New option to select only those combinations / states you wish to discuss.
11. Plaque load temperature.
12. A new set of graphics that are easier and more legible (supports, joints, loads, reactions, effort, etc.). In addition the new 3D graphics are now a more realistic appearance.
13. This version includes the ability to disable the shear strains. This option is useful when models are textbook examples of verification.
14. Improved analysis and design of steel sections I. The analysis now includes the exact finite element stiffness variable-section instead of the old approach that divided the membership into 6 segments (that option is also available). The design includes the verification of the AISC Manual 13th Edition.
RAM Advanse v9.5 Now Available (Updated)
Updated 8/6/2008 – RAM Advanse v9.5.1 is now available for immediate download from the Bentley SELECT Server. Thank you for your patience between the time this was first announced and now.
As you can see, there is no rest for the Bentley Structural Team. We\’re also tentaviley releasing RAM Advanse v9.5 in the next couple of weeks. There are a lot of new features and updates in this release. Masonry gets a lot of attention here, with code updates, hybrid masonry design, and cracked section properties. RAM Advanse has plenty of great features and design modules for any material and almost every structural engineering project, so be sure and download this update.
