D. Connection Design workflow
The Connection Design mode in STAAD.Pro is used to dynamically link structural model data —including section properties and analysis results— to the RAM Connection application in order to check connection designs for code compliance.
The resulting data and diagrams of the connection can also be included in the User Report.
Full use of the Connection Design mode in STAAD.Pro requires a valid
RAM Connection license. The RAM Connection mode will run with a limited set of steel
connections available with only a standard STAAD.Pro
license. Refer to
D. Full vs. Free Connection Sets for
details.
Please contact your Bentley account manager to have a Connection Design license added to your SELECT licenses.
