Model two diaphragms in RAM SS
Model two diaphragms in RAM SS
(OP)
We have a building we are designing in RAM Structural System. We are fairly new users of the program. The floor diaphragm has a portion I'd like to separate from the main diaphragm. I can't seem to find a place to do this in RAM. Is the a capability of the program? I know I used to do it in CSC Fastrak all the time, I'd be shocked if RAM couldn't do this.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Here’s a nice wiki on semi-rigid diaphragms: http://communities.bentley.com/Products/Structural...

Won't this cause the wind load to be doubled in one direction (assuming a rectangular diaphragm being separated) when using automatic wind load generation?
