These changes were necessary to permit RAM Elements to run with minimal privileges in security-conscious environments. Creating custom Sections, Materials, Connections etc. To create a custom material, section, connection, bolt, or weld, select the appropriate button in the Databases ribbon found on the Home menu. RAM Elements includes various groups of elements organized by country. These groups are locked and new data cannot be added to these groups.

So a new custom group must be created. To do this, click the New Group button in the upper right (circled in the screenshot below). Give the new group a name in the dialog box that appears, e.g.

'Custom' or 'My Sections'. Upon clicking OK, the new group will appear on screen. New elements cannot be created until a new table is added to the group. To do this, click the New Table button just below the New Group button (circled in the screenshot below). Give the new table a name in the dialog box that appears, e.g. Except in the case of welds, the dialog box will also require additional information such as the type.

Pick the appropriate type from those available. Upon clicking OK, the new table will appear in the left column. From here, you can create a new item from scratch by clicking the New Item button (circled in the screenshot below).

Navigate to a custom group, select a table, and then click the Paste items from clipboard button (circled in the screenshot below).

Note that the copied item must match the type of the table. Copy(1) is automatically appended to the name to prevent duplicate entries in the database.

Finally, edit the item by double-clicking its listing in the right pane, or click the Edit Item button on the right edge. Note it is also possible to import a text file to define shapes, but importing from the clipboard generally works best. One strategy is to copy data to the clipboard.

Applies To Product(s): RAM Elements Version(s): 11.00.00.00 or later Environment: N/A Area: N/A Subarea: N/A Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Steel Unbraced Lengths in RAM Elements General The format for steel unbraced lengths (Lb pos, Lb neg, L33, L22, and LTorsion) changed in V11.

The help context in the member design parameters worksheet discusses the format. This can be accessed by clicking on a cell in the Members – Steel Design Parameters worksheet and hitting F1 on your keyboard. Old Implementation Prior to V11, unbraced lengths were entered as a single value in the steel design parameters. If no value was entered, the unbraced length was assumed to be equal to the physical length of the member (j node to k node). If a non-zero value was entered, that value was used as the unbraced length for every station considered during the design of the beam. However, parameters such as Cb were always calculated using the physical length of the member.

This limitation could be unconservative. V11 Implementation In V11, unbraced lengths need to be entered such that the sum of the unbraced lengths is equal the physical length of the member.
