New Features in RAM Concept V8i SELECTseries 8, r5.1.0
Auditor Tool Enhancements
This release includes an enhancement to the auditing tool, where results are now shown in a graphical format rather than in a text file. Results are organized in an intelligent tree structure and details can be drilled into as far as needed. These improvements apply to both the cross section auditor and the punching shear auditor.
Utilization of 64-bit Memory Space
A 64-bit version of the program is now available. This removes memory limitations that may have otherwise occurred for exceptionally large and complex models, as well as computationally demanding features such as load-history calculations and vibration analysis.
