RAM Concrete – Shear Wall Design Module

Watch a demonstration of the RAM Structural System’s new state of the art solution for concrete shear wall design – the RAM Concrete shear wall design module. Learn about the functionality and design capabilities in the module and how this product can make your design process faster and more efficient.

RAM Structural System Seismic Advances

This eSeminar presents the highlights and recommendations related to the AISC 341-05 implementation from RAM Structural System, release 12.1. Also a look at the additions made for Buckling Restrained Braces, the inclusion of semirigid, flexible and pseudo-flexible diaphragms, and boundary element design for concrete shearwalls in RAM Structural System V8i, release 13.0. Finally a sneak peek at RAM Connection v5.5 for seismic brace frame connection designs.

The many product enhancements related to seismic analysis and design incorporated in the RAM Structural System this year.

STAAD (X) – The New Generation of STAAD

The world of engineering is moving from isolated applications to integrated solutions. The days of 2D analysis have given way to 3D modeling, but this is not enough. In today’s economic climate engineers need to maximize competitiveness - to do so, the best productivity is achieved by different parts of the design team efficiently sharing data. In this LIVE eSeminar learn about STAAD(X), which offers an advanced architecture for interoperability and open architecture for structural engineers.

Integrated Analysis and Design of Offshore Structures using STAAD.Pro

Get an overview of STAAD.Pro and learn how it works with structures that are subject to offshore load conditions (such as wave loading) or are transported on the ocean and subjected to wave motion.

Find out how easy it is to use and learn STAAD.Pro, the world's #1 structural analysis and design software when working on structures that are subject to conditions in a sea environment!

Synchronized Structural Design and Drawing Production:
RAM Structural System and Bentley Structural

Utilizing a fragmented workflow can create inefficiency, business challenges and barriers to project success. While fragmentation can exist between project participants, it also exists to a large degree between the tools used to perform project tasks.

This eSeminar covers how Bentley's integrated structural software approach addresses this fragmentation through interoperability of model data for the purposes of synchronizing the structural analysis with drawing production. Additionally, the exchange of information for the purposes of steel detailing are discussed.

STAAD.foundation

The new STAAD.foundation V8i brings foundation design into a new era, and a new market – Canada. We are proud to announce the implementation of CSA A23.3-04, as well as numerous other enhancements, to our most comprehensive foundation design tool. During this complementary eSeminar, you will learn how STAAD.foundation will benefit you by allowing you to:

• Save time and reduce errors by integrating your foundations with STAAD.Pro 3D models
• Group design mat foundations, combined footings, and isolated footings per the CSA A23.3-04 for an entire project
• Automatically create customized general arrangement drawings, detailed drawings, and schedules
• Design individual foundations quickly with our new foundation toolkit mode
• Easily verify designs with improved calculation sheets

ProSteel Professional - OnDemand Coming Soon

• What if you could integrate your STAAD.Pro models directly with your AutoCAD drawings?
• Would you save time and money?
• Would you reduce the possibility of error if you were able to electronically incorporate changes from your STAAD.Pro model into your drawings - or vice versa?
• Would you work more efficiently if you had the choice of modeling in STAAD.Pro or AutoCAD first?
• Would you provide a better level of service to your clients if you could easily provide them an intelligent 3D model for clash detection and BIM compatibility?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, then please join us for a complimentary eSeminar on ProSteel, our AutoCAD-based 3D modeling and drafting solution for steel structures. With the latest release of both STAAD.Pro V8i and ProSteel V8i, we introduce the latest version of StrucLink, a free add-on to both programs, that makes all of this, and much more, possible.

RAM Concept - OnDemand Coming Soon

Bentley is proud to announce the implementation of CSA A23.3-04, as well as numerous other enhancements, to our industry leading concrete slab and post-tensioned slab design tool – RAM Concept.  Please join us for this complimentary eSeminar and see the benefits of this new release such as:

• Quickly model complicated or simple floor slabs with openings, steps, drop caps, and supporting elements
• Design reinforcement and post-tensioning per the CSA 23.3-04, including NBC 2005 load combinations and live load reduction
• Perform punching shear analysis
• Analyze deflection contour plots that account for cracking, creep, shrinkage, and tension-stiffening
• Do "what if" scenarios quickly and accurately so you can easily respond to client changes
• Integrate your concrete slabs with leading BIM applications and other Bentley structural analysis software
• Use a single program for mildly reinforced concrete slabs, post-tensioned slabs, and mat foundations

RAM Connection

Are you a STAAD.Pro user who needs to analyze or design steel connections?

• What if you could check your connections from within the STAAD environment?
• What if you didn’t have to manually extract forces, geometry, and sections to design those connections elsewhere?
• What if your STAAD.Pro model changed and you could quickly reanalyze or redesign that connection?
• Finally, what if you could have connection details automatically created for use on your drawings?
  

If any of these options would benefit you, please join us for a complimentary eSeminar on RAM Connection, our steel connection design program, and its new level of integration with STAAD.Pro.
