RAM SS Wall moment distributions
RAM SS Wall moment distributions
(OP)
Ive got a building set up using the out of plane capacity of lateral walls as a sway frame for lateral loads in the x/-x direction. These walls have openings and I need to see the stress/moment distributions to find the peak values instead of the whole wall?

I actually find it easier to work with cross section forces. There you can get total forces acting on any cross section which are more useful for design. The good news is that you can cut and review cross sections from within RAM Frame using Process – Results - Shear Wall Forces module even if you don't own the Shear Wall design module.

Ive found that shear wall module thanks seth but the results are pretty hard to interpret. Do you know how to iterpret the different stress plots Like S11 S21 and what the scales mean? do they represent actual values? I need to find localised moments as we are introducing large openings into existing walls and I need to see if the existing reo will cope.
