RAM® Connection

Everything You Need for Steel Connection Design

RAM Connection can be used stand alone or fully integrated with RAM Structural System, RAM Elements, and STAAD.Pro® for steel connection design. Powerful connection checks or design in seconds. To check a specific connection, design a single connection for multiple joints or optimize each connection in your structure, RAM Connection gets you there quicker than ever before.

Integrated Modeling and Documentation Workflows

The CONNECT Edition provides a common environment for comprehensive project delivery and connects users, projects, and your enterprise. With the CONNECT Edition, you now have a personal portal to access learning, communities, and project information. You can also share personal fi les including i-models and PDFs directly from your desktop with other users, or stage them for easy access from a Bentley mobile app, such as Structural Navigator.

With the new project portal, your project teams can review project details and status, and gain visibility into project performance. 

With the CONNECT Edition, your project team may also wish to take advantage of the new ProjectWise® Connection Services including Project Performance Dashboards, Issues Resolution, and Scenario Services.

RAM Connection Capabilities

Comply with seismic requirements

• Design and detail seismic force-resisting systems, generating seismic loads according to the relevant building code. Consider these forces in the design of elements and, where applicable, the design of frames and the larger structural system. Enforce the ductility requirements of the selected design code in element proportioning and detailing.

Design to international standards

• Extend the reach of your business practice and take advantage of global design opportunities by using a wide range of international standards and specifications in our design products. Complete your designs with confidence thanks to extensive support of international standards.

Produce structural design documentation

• Generate structural design documents including necessary plans and elevations that are used to convey the design intent. Changes made to the 3D model are automatically updated in the documentation.

Produce structural details

• Produce detailed 2D drawings directly from design results established in the structural model. Customize the style and format of the drawings using settings offered within the software.
