RAM Concept CONNECT Edition
Reinforced Concrete slab and Post-Tensioned design software
RAM Concept CONNECT Edition is a software application for the structural analysis and design of conventionally reinforced and post-tensioned concrete floors, mats, and rafts.
RAM Concept CONNECT Edition contains an advanced feature set that allows for the design of a wide variety of floor systems including post-tensioned, reinforced concrete and hybrid systems, elevated slabs, and mat/raft foundations, one-way slabs, two-way slabs, beams, and joist systems.
RAM Concept CONNECT Edition enables the engineer to design post-tensioned and reinforced concrete slabs by using a finite element model of the entire slab
RAM Concept CONNECT Edition can predict the elastic behavior of a slab much more accurately than frame models
RAM Concept - features
- Complete modeling of the floor as physical objects: slabs, beams, walls, columns, openings, penetrations, etc., with the option to trace over a CAD background.
- Exhaustive design capabilities including consideration of short and long term states, service and strength criteria, punching shear design, vibration due to walking, and advanced deflection calculations using load history
- Automated Tendon generation.
- Creation of CAD file from reinforcing or post-tensioning plans
- Much like CAD drawings, user interface by layers.
- Warnings and Errors management tools. To identifying, locating, resolving warnings, and errors.
Warnings and errors management tool is available to be set.
- Integrate RAM Concept models with RAM Structural System or STAAD.Pro to analyze and design the remainder of the structure for full gravity load takedown and systematic lateral loads.
- Interoperability with Revit.

Analyze gravity and lateral load
Design and analyze simple or complex structures for a wide range of loading conditions, including conditions induced by gravity like dead and live loads, such as skip conditions and tilt-up walls, in combination with lateral loads like wind and seismic.
Design and analyze with finite elements and reduce or eliminate the time spent waiting for results using our fast solvers.
Complete building analysis, design, and drafting for the entire structure accurately and efficiently using our state-of-the-art finite element analysis. Reduce or eliminate the time spent waiting for results using our fast solvers.
Design foundations to international standards
Design a wide variety of foundations, from simple spread footings to complicated mats and specialized machinery pads. Complete your designs with confidence thanks to extensive support of international standards.
Design post-tensioned and conventional systems
Design elevated concrete slabs with or without post-tensioning. Consider all major aspects of slab design including service, ductility, and strength limit states, code-prescribed requirements, long-term deflections, punching shear, and walking vibration.
Share structural models
Transfer structural model geometry and design results from one application to another and synchronize changes over time. Quickly share the structural model, drawings, and information with the entire team for review.
