Dear Deadlord
First, I am currently using Ram Concept version 3.1.1. I am wondering whether the current version support otherwise compared to the above mentioned version.
Secondly, as far I know, ram concept only allow for vertical static loads input not for dynamic seismic loads as well lateral loads
Thirdly, there is no option to import/export between Ram Concept and Etabs.
Fourth, Ram concept recommended not to model upper structures to the current slab design ==> ignore the stiffness of these elements
Fifth, To calculate the long term effects, we need to modify in Etabs in model analysis such as modulus, then do the different way to the Ram Concept as the different default values.
Sixth, the way of strip definition in Ram Concept is different to Etabs or Safe leading the different slab behaviour under actions.
Correct me if is am wrong.
