When you select S-shapes, you get an error "No Design, No size satisfies all design requirements"

Problem Description

When you select S-shapes, you get an error "No Design, No size satisfies all design requirements" ; it seems no section works. The only section that shows up in the results is a S6x12.5.

Solution

This is associated with an error in the RAMS.BMS table. You can correct this by editing that table in Notepad. The file is located at C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Engineering\RAMSBeam\Tables.

The Master table RAMAISC.TAB correctly lists S6x17.25, but RAMS.BMS lists it as S6x17.2. Edit RAMS.BMS so that it is listed as S6x17.25 (as shown below).

 

After saving the file, select Criteria – General in RAM SBeam, select RAMAISC.BMS for the Beam Design Table, and select OK. Then again select Criteria – General in RAM SBeam, select RAMS.BMS for the Beam Design Table, and select OK. This forces the program to use the updated table. Or simply close RAM SBeam and then run it again.

P.S. This issue affects RAM Structural System as well. Edit the RAMS.BMS table in Notepad. The file is located at C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Engineering\RAM Structural System\Tables.
