Beam depth restrictions work like this. If the user assigns a depth restriction that is too limiting and no beam within the depth restriction works, then the program provides a warning in the Design...

You have not added PERFORM ANALYSIS command. You need to add that.There are warning for wind load generation. There are few instances where the WIND load command is not associated with a specific...

For the warning messages, you can avert them by using the group option .If you see the load/Case 6 , then few of the wind loads falls on the projected area of the inclined panel.Wind load will not be...

RE: RAM Concrete beam not being loaded by slab
If part of the floor slab at that level is two-way, then the whole thing gets meshed and that could cause the behavior you describe. More on two-way slabs here:

Seth, I certainly appreciate the reply. Yes, this model has a two-way slab at one point in the building. This beam is located under a section of one-way slab that is some distance away. The loads being...
View ArticleRE: RAM Concrete beam not being loaded by slab
The only way to completely avoid having the slabs meshed is to use only one-way slabs on that level (other levels could still be 2-way). A visual confirmation of the meshed finite element model is...
