Ram Elements V13 to Ram Concept

Ram Elements V13 to Ram Concept

Ram Elements V13 to Ram Concept

(OP)
Hey, fellow engineers
I am setting up a Ram Elements project with concrete columns and walls supporting a concrete PT slab. I have set up the columns and walls (materials, thickness etc..in Elements) I need to know how to set up the PT slab in Elements in order to transfer it and design it in Concept. Should the PT slab be one large horizontal shell (Slab)? I will be using the ISM option for both programs.

THanks!

RE: Ram Elements V13 to Ram Concept

The ISM Approach is correct.
You can model the slab as one big shell, or use smaller shells, either way. In RAM Elements it is sometimes easier to work with shells that are at least partially meshed.
Be sure to assign a common story identifier to the columns, walls and slabs. When you import the ism repository into Concept you will have to pick one story to import. Also make sure to use concrete materials and model the structure with +Y = Up.
