RAM ADVANSE PROGRAM
(OP)
Do any structural engineers use this program? I am interested in purchasing it for $1500.00. Any feedback on this program would be appreciated. The CD intro looks great.

RAM seems very structural engineer intuitive. Be aware of its shortcomings. Most of which are pointed out in the included literature.
I have done a reinforced concrete frame building and a moment frame/shear wall building with Advance. It was a valuable tool when detailing concrete beams.
RE: RAM ADVANSE PROGRAM
I am just beginning to use the software myself in our office so I can't really speak cofidently of it's strong points. However, one of the senior Engineers here has used it for a long time and seems to feel it is on par with STAAD. He is vigorously advocating that we purchase more licenses and move permanently to RAMAdvance.
However, I agree with DaveAtkins that RISA-3D is an excellent package. I have found that RISA is very versatile and would reccomend it anyday. You might want to compare both packages to see what best suits your needs.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
JS.

I have also used the RAM structural system and really liked the software, not to mention the tech support.

I concur that the tech support from them is very helpful.
