Senior-engineer perspective
Use the model to make structural behaviour reviewable—not opaque.
RAM Elements fits component-scale and small-to-medium structural models where engineers need fast 3D analysis plus practical design modules for frames, trusses, walls, foundations and individual members.
Keep analysis assumptions and design checks in a traceable engineering workflow.
Reduce manual transfer between global analysis, specialist design and documentation tasks.
Apply 3D finite-element analysis for structural components and frames 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.
3D finite-element analysis for structural components and frames
Design modules for trusses, beams, walls, retaining walls and footings
Dynamic and nonlinear analysis options for compact models
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
Structural geometry, restraints, materials, actions, combinations and design criteria
Core engineering work
3D finite-element analysis for structural components and frames
Validation & review
Design modules for trusses, beams, walls, retaining walls and footings
Project outcome
Small buildings and frames. Traceable analysis/design decisions and coordinated structural outputs
Connected handoff

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.
Use RAM Elements when the job is component-focused or a compact frame and the overhead of a whole-building model is unnecessary.
For large general models use STAAD.Pro; for whole buildings use RAM Structural System.
- 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.
When should an engineering team choose RAM Elements?
Use RAM Elements when the job is component-focused or a compact frame and the overhead of a whole-building model is unnecessary. For large general models use STAAD.Pro; for whole buildings use RAM Structural System.
What engineering work does RAM Elements support?
3D finite-element analysis for structural components and frames; Design modules for trusses, beams, walls, retaining walls and footings; Dynamic and nonlinear analysis options for compact models.
What project applications are a good fit?
Small buildings and frames; Component design and verification; Retaining walls, masonry and foundation components.
Which Bentley editions or tiers are represented here?
The reviewed Bentley source lists RAM Elements. Reference values on this page are a dated public-source snapshot checked 2026-09-18, not a CTtec quotation.
How does RAM Elements connect to the wider engineering workflow?
The reviewed workflow references RAM and STAAD data workflows. Confirm project-specific exchange requirements during implementation planning.
What is the public price authority on this page?
Bentley public pricing is the sole public product-price authority shown on CTtec.ae. CTtec can assist with quotations, licensing and procurement support, but the website does not publish a separate regional product price.
What should the team check before deployment?
Confirm the current Bentley system requirements and licensing terms before deployment. Validate project data standards, coordinate systems, units, and exchange formats during implementation planning.
