WHAT IS RAM Structural system?

RAM Structural System provides you a complete solution for analysis, design, drafting, and documentation for steel and concrete buildings, foundations, and even individual structural components; all in compliance with your local building codes.

With RAM, you will save time and money by automating the most tedious, repetitive, and time-consuming tasks so that you can focus on the more critical aspects of design and provide a cost-effective solution to your client. 

Analyze

  • Analyze the buildings’ lateral system for wind and seismic loads in the most practical way.
  • Calculate gravity load distribution using methods tailored to specific framing systems.

Design

  • Design structural steel and concrete elements, including foundations.
  • Efficiently design safe, optimized concrete tilt-up walls.

Share

  • Share structural data with applications such as Revit, Tekla, and OpenBuildings.
  • Automatically update documentation including plans and elevations when changes are made to the 3D model.
