RAM Connection Standalone Student 3.0

RAM Connection Standalone Student by RAM International is an academic edition of the industry‑recognized steel connection design and verification software. Built for teaching, learning, and student projects, it enables users to model, design, and check a wide range of structural steel connections—such as shear, moment, bracing, splice, and base plate connections—without requiring a host analysis program. The application automates code-based calculations, assists with component sizing (plates, bolts, and welds), and provides clear graphical feedback to help users understand connection behavior and design decisions. It is intended for educational, noncommercial use.

Key features:

• Standalone workflow: create and analyze joints without other structural modeling software
• Broad connection coverage: shear, moment, bracing, splices, gusset plates, and base plates
• Code-based design and checks, including support for widely used international standards (e.g., AISC)
• Interactive 2D/3D visualization and connection templates with parametric editing
• Automated sizing of bolts, welds, and plates with iterative optimization tools
• Comprehensive calculation reports with diagrams and referenced design checks
• Connection libraries for reusing and standardizing details across exercises

Note: The Student edition is provided for learning and academic coursework only and may include functional or size limitations compared to the full commercial version.
