Curve Members - Steel Beams, Columns and Braces

RAM Structural System beams, columns and braces are pushed to the iTwin Analytical Synchronizer as Curve Member objects.

Member Properties

RAM Structural System member properties can be viewed for each Curve Member object in the iTwin Analytical Synchronizer.

iTAS Curve Member Property	RAM Structural System Member Property
Load Resistance	Indicates the Framing Property assigned to each member in the RAM Modeler: Gravity Beams and Columns in RAM Structural System = Gravity Only in iTAS Lateral Beams and Columns in RAM Structural System = Gravity and Lateral in iTAS Vertical and Horizontal Braces in RAM Structural System = Lateral Only in iTAS
Camber	Indicates the camber assigned to steel beams in the RAM Steel Beam Module.
System Kind	Indicates the type of material used to model the member in RAM Structural System: Steel in RAM Structural System = Steel Rolled in iTAS Concrete in RAM Structural System = Concrete Unspecified in iTAS
Use	Indicates the member type in RAM Structural System: Beam Column Vertical Brace Horizontal Brace
Member Fixity	Indicates the member end fixity assigned to the ends of each lateral member in RAM Structural System.

Material Properties

In RAM Structural System, a yield strength of steel is assigned to each steel member when it is modeled. The material properties will be pushed to the iTwin Analytical Synchronizer as Steel objects.

Section Properties

In RAM Structural System, steel section properties are defined in the Master Steel Table and the Master Steel Joist Table. The steel section properties will be pushed to the iTwin Analytical Synchronizer as Table Section and Table Steel Joist objects. 

Web Openings

In RAM Structural System, web openings can be modeled in gravity steel I-Section Beams in the RAM Modeler. Web openings will be pushed to the iTwin Analytical Synchronizer as Feature Subtraction objects.

Beam Reactions

In RAM Structural System, the reactions due to gravity loads are calculated in the RAM Steel Beam Module. The beam end reactions, due to gravity loads only, can be pushed to the iTwin Analytical Synchronizer as service reactions or factored reactions, depending on the Push Settings in the iTwin Services.

Composite Stud Configuration

In RAM Structural System, shear studs on composite steel beams are designed in the RAM Steel Beam Module. The stud configuration will be pushed to the iTwin Analytical Synchronizer as Shear Stud Zone objects.
