RAM Connection V8i (SELECTseries 3) Release 7.3

RAM Connection V8i (SELECTseries 3) Release is a specialized structural engineering application for the design, analysis, and code-checking of steel connections. It helps engineers quickly configure and verify a wide range of connection types—such as beam-to-column moment and shear connections, bracing and gusset connections, base plates, and splices—while producing clear calculations and documentation.

Key capabilities:

• Supports a broad set of international steel design codes and seismic provisions for connection design and verification.
• Offers a library of connection templates with parametric controls, plus automatic sizing and optimization based on demand/capacity checks.
• Works stand-alone or integrates with common structural analysis and modeling workflows to transfer member sizes, geometry, and forces.
• Provides interactive 3D visualization of connection geometry and limit states, along with customizable calculation reports and sketches for documentation and review.
• Streamlines iteration with rapid what-if studies, helping ensure constructible, code-compliant solutions within project constraints.

Who it’s for:

• Structural engineers, connection designers, and steel detailers who need reliable, repeatable connection design and documentation across small to large steel projects.

Benefits:

• Faster connection design cycles, consistent code compliance, improved traceability of engineering decisions, and deliverables ready for coordination and fabrication.

Note: SELECTseries 3 denotes a V8i-generation release featuring performance, usability, and workflow improvements compared to earlier versions.
