RE: Number of iteration needed in a RAM Concept Model
Yes, I think it is a trial and error approach for most users. The acceptable amount of tension remaining is a judgement call. 2% of dead load might be reasonable for some users, some cases, but others...

View ArticleRE: How to Refine Mesh in RAM Concept by using point support and line support?
Ok, so in order to refine my mesh, I place a soft spring support at each node or at any point? Now, is this method valid for elevated slabs? Also, you mention that most user don't use this method....
View ArticleRE: How to Refine Mesh in RAM Concept by using point support and line support?
You would put the soft point sprint at any point you wanted to enforce as a node, or a line spring at any line you wanted to enforce as a line of nodes. Doing nothing special, and just using the...
