RAM ADVANSE
RAM ADVANSE
(OP)
In Ram Advanse, for wood design, I am getting Ratio = NPC under Code Check / Stress Ratio
I am guessing that mean Nail Plate Connection required? Anybody know for sure.

NPC also appears on steel design code check, so its not nail plate connection. Maybe its "Not Permitted by Code", because these stress ratio's exceed 1 or 1.33 and are shown as "NG" on the Code check graphic, but NPC appears on the stress ratio's graphic.
Ram used to answer simple questions like this one, but now Bently seems to have imposed maintenance agreement checks before you can even email to tech support.

Wood:
NPC: Not Possible to Calculate. The denominator of the second and/or third terms of Eq. 3.9-3 (NDS 1997) takes a negative or zero value
- Axial load exceeding Euler buckling capacity of member is a probable cause
Steel:
NPC: Not Possible to Calculate.
The denominator of the second and/or third terms of Eq. H1-1 (AISC ASD 1989) takes a negative or zero value
Tension or compression with axial load exceeding Euler buckling capacity of member is a probable cause
