RAM Connection 2024 (24.00.01.237)

The Structural Products development team is pleased to announce the availability of RAM Connection 2024 (24.00.01.237) is steel connection analysis and design software for virtually any connection type.

RAM Connection 2024 (v24.0.1) - Release Date: July 2024

This release includes:
- AISC Design Guide 39 for moment end plates replacing previous Design Guide 4 and 16 in AISC 360-22.
- New bracing gusset with beam stub and splice connection including seismic provisions for AISC.
- Multisession capability to open models using several instances at the same time.
- Integration of moment connection information in shear connections to manage demands between connections in the same joint.
- All documentation integrated in ADO builds using the new DITA framework.
- Bug fixes and other small enhancements.

RAM Connection is the ideal solution when structural engineers or designers need to check a specific connection, design a single connection for multiple joints, or optimize each connection in a structure. Analyze, design, and verify structural steel connections, all with comprehensive calculations, including seismic compliance. RAM Connection can check or design connections in seconds. Whether you design connections or need to check connections designed by the shop, RAM Connection is the software for you. In just one low-cost package, you get for steel frame connections the AISC ASD and LRFD, AS 4100-1998, BS5950-1, CSA S16-14, EN1993-EC3, GB50017 and IS800 connection design and optimization for shear and moment connections, braced frame connections, splices, and horizontal bracing connections. For truss connections you get the tubular connections design according to the AISC and the HSS Connection Design Manual. Through its seamless integration with the RAM Structural System, RAM Elements, and STAAD.Pro, RAM Connection raises the bar to a new level of productivity. All data regarding member sizes, joint geometry, and forces are transferred directly from either the RAM Structural System, RAM Elements, or STAAD.Pro to RAM Connection.
