Bentley Systems, Incorporated software

Use what you want, when you want it, with our most comprehensive bundled structural software suite that includes trusted applications like STAAD, RAM, and more! With Structural Enterprise, you can design in any infrastructure sector, with multiple materials, using any analysis method that is appropriate for the job. Reduce your upfront costs, simplify business transactions, reuse data and leverage the time saving power of interoperability. 

Save time and money by automating the most tedious, repetitive, and time-consuming project tasks. When you increase your productivity, you can focus on the more critical aspects of design and provide a superior and more cost-effective solution to your client. RAM Structural System provides you a complete solution for analysis, design, drafting, and documentation for steel and concrete buildings, foundations, and even individual structural components; all in compliance with your local building codes.

Perform analysis and design of virtually any connection type and verify your connections in seconds, all with comprehensive calculations, including seismic compliance. Increase your productivity with optimized workflows and full integration of 3D design models, including the ability to customize the application with your preferences. Efficiently design and optimize a myriad of connections included in the AISC (ASD and LRFD), EC3, IS, GB, and BS specifications. Quickly complete all your connections, such as shear and moment connections, braced frame connections, column/beam splices, and base plates.

Perform analysis and design – including quickly performing 3D finite element analysis – of almost any type of structure or structural component, all in one affordable application. You will save time and money by performing your daily design tasks for all of your building projects, simple or complex, all within a single easy-to-learn and use application. Complete your steel, concrete, cold-formed steel, timber, and masonry projects, regardless of complexity, on time and on budget. Maximize your software investment by using RAM Element’s simple graphic interface to quickly design trusses, continuous beams, and frames of all types. Quickly complete many other design tasks such as designing retaining walls, masonry walls, tilt-up walls, shear walls, or footings.

Efficiently obtain reinforcement quantities for both your gravity and lateral frames, and quickly compare alternative design schemes with accurate material takeoffs for all of your concrete projects. Increase productivity and provide superior service to your clients, from conceptual design through construction, by producing detailed drawings and accurate cost estimates even in the most preliminary stages of your projects. Quickly design and analyze any concrete project with confidence, complying with international concrete specification requirements. RAM Concrete automatically performs live load reduction and skip loading, and comprehensively investigates reinforcing design and detail requirements for beams, columns, and walls. Easily produce complete CAD files on the fly for your floor framing plans, frame and wall elevations, and beam and column schedules.

Quickly perform static and dynamic analysis of building systems subjected to lateral, dynamic, and gravity loads. Calculate wind and seismic loads and generate load combinations for efficient analysis and design on all your building projects. Easily automate time consuming tasks, all within a completely integrated application, to help you deliver your projects on time and within budget. Flexible design options with practical output help you design using any material such as steel, concrete, or masonry, or any combination of materials. RAM Frame accommodates any type of lateral system such as moment frames, braced frames, shear walls, or hybrid designs, with extensive implementation of seismic and wind design requirements.

Efficiently produce optimum foundation designs for your entire structure, all based on a wide range of design criteria and options that you can easily customize to your preferences. Save time and money by performing the analysis, design, and evaluation of your spread, continuous, and pile cap foundations, all in one integrated application. With RAM Foundation you can quickly refine your designs for both foundation dimensions and steel reinforcement. Once your design is complete, you can easily produce foundation calculations, details, and foundation plans using RAM Foundations` customizable reports and DXF output capabilities.

Economically design post-tensioned and reinforced concrete floors including slabs, mats, and rafts, with exceptional visibility into compliance, efficiency, and practicality. Design floors and foundations reliably and efficiently, saving time and money, and overcoming the most common concerns you face as a designer. RAM Concept allows you to easily design complex floor geometries and incorporate changes with ease using powerful task automation and clearly organized output.

Win more business and boost your performance using the power of the cloud. Analytical Insights: Eighty percent of design firms report they apply design requirements beyond the code requirements to improve constructability and to reduce costs and risk. Until now the process to ensure compliance with these best practices has been a time intensive, manual process, subject to errors and oversight. Now, with Analytical Insights, that same process is automated, allowing project managers to set design rules for RAM Structural system users to allow designers to ensure compliance and obtain insight into best practices throughout the design process. Ensure design quality, assist designers to identify potential construction issues, minimize time consuming review cycles and provide easy to understand insight into design progress and adherence to your firm’s quality requirements.
