RAM Connection
Structural analysis and design workflow software
RAM Connection is the dedicated connection-design step for engineers who want repeatable steel joint checks instead of spreadsheet-by-spreadsheet calculations. It is most useful when connection forces are fed from the analytical model and standardized connection families are checked consistently.

Senior-engineer perspective
Use the model to make structural behaviour reviewable—not opaque.
RAM Connection is the dedicated connection-design step for engineers who want repeatable steel joint checks instead of spreadsheet-by-spreadsheet calculations. It is most useful when connection forces are fed from the analytical model and standardized connection families are checked consistently.
Keep analysis assumptions and design checks in a traceable engineering workflow.
Reduce manual transfer between global analysis, specialist design and documentation tasks.
Apply steel connection analysis and code checks where that capability directly supports the project decision.
Technical scope
Analysis and design functions tied to structural decisions.
Only capabilities supported by the reviewed source-controlled product record are shown here. CTtec adds engineering context without reproducing Bentley marketing copy.
Steel connection analysis and code checks
Connection templates for common beam, column, brace and base-plate joints
Transfer of member forces from structural analysis workflows
Engineering workflow
Geometry and actions in. Checked structural decisions out.
The sequence is assembled from the product's reviewed capability/application data and CTtec discipline vocabulary. It is a project-use model, not a claim that every project follows an identical process.
Engineering inputs

Product selection guidance
Match analysis depth to the behaviour that governs the design.
Selection guidance is CTtec engineering editorial based on the reviewed product scope. It is intended to support tool choice, not replace project-specific engineering judgement.
Choose RAM Connection for steel connection design and code checks.
It complements rather than replaces the global frame analysis in STAAD.Pro, RAM Structural System, or RAM Elements.
- Confirm the current Bentley system requirements and licensing terms before deployment.
- Validate project data standards, coordinate systems, units, and exchange formats during implementation planning.
Connected engineering workflow
Interfaces, handoffs and adjacent Bentley applications.
Connections are shown only where they are present in the reviewed product record.
Engineering & commercial FAQ
Questions to resolve before the tool becomes part of the project workflow.
Answers use the reviewed product data, CTtec engineering editorial, Bentley public pricing and clearly separated CTtec sales-support context.
