RAM Elements CONNECT Edition Update 16.2

RAM Elements CONNECT Edition Update is a structural analysis and design application for engineers who need a single environment to model, analyze, and check a wide range of structures. It combines 3D finite element analysis with integrated design for steel, concrete, masonry, and timber, helping you move efficiently from concept to code compliance.

Key capabilities:

• 3D modeling and analysis: linear, P-Delta, buckling, and basic dynamic/modal analysis with beam, column, brace, plate/shell, and cable elements
• Automated load generation and combinations for wind and seismic, with customizable load cases
• Design checks against major US and international codes, with clear calculation reports and detailing outputs
• Specialized tools for components such as foundations, base plates, shear walls, and cold‑formed members
• Interoperability with related structural tools and common exchange formats to streamline multidisciplinary workflows

What’s new in the CONNECT Edition Update typically includes:

• Performance and stability improvements for large models
• Updated design codes and parameters where applicable
• User interface refinements that speed up everyday tasks
• Enhanced reporting and detailing options
• Integration and licensing updates aligned with the CONNECT platform
