RAM application
RAM application
(OP)
When I designed commercial buildings we used RAM quite a bit since most of our exterior walls spanned from floor diaphragm to floor diaphragm without bending the columns due to wind loads. Now I am now designing industrial buildings that typically have metal panels and girts that cause bending in the columns due to wind loads. Is there a simple way to use RAM to design these industrial buildings with columns that have direct bending due to wind loads?

I mentioned this to RAM a few years ago and the response was that they hadn't integrated that concept into their software but eventually would. I don't believe that the latest version yet allows this consideration.
