RamSeries manual
Rambshell can perform the structural analysis of either beams or shells or a combination of both using the finite element method. It assumes linear elasticity in the material and small displacements in the overall structure. The beam and shell hypotheses assumed in the analysis are described in the appendixes 2 and 3. It can also dimension the analyzed concrete beams and shells with the necessary steel based on the EHE Spanish regulation.
Ramsolid can perform the structural analysis of 3D solids using the finite element method. It assumes linear elasticity in the material and small displacements in the overall structure. The solid hypotheses assumed in the analysis are described in the appendix 4.
These analysis modules are embedded inside GiD, the pre and postprocessor. Knowledge of GiD is assumed in order to create the geometry, generate the mesh and visualize the results in the postprocessing stage. Please, refer to the GiD manual for more details about the use of this program.
