Modeling flat slab with RAM Elements

[Robbiee]

Hello,
Has anyone modeled a suspended cast-in-place concrete slab as shell elements of RAM Elements?
I was thinking of doing so for a small 2x3 bays of an underground parking garage roof.
Thanks for any input.

I'm not overly well versed in RAM Elements, but I think it's mainly intended for frame member design, no?
RAM Concept is a great tool for suspended slabs, however.

Thanks atrizzy. RAM Elements has capability of assigning shell elements, which I mainly use for walls when modeling frames. It gives all the stresses and forces in the shell. That is why I was wondering if anyone ever modeled a slab and got the forces and stress from it.
