You can connect your structural models created in RAM SS, with IDEA StatiCa apps. Simply save your RAM model as a .rss file and import it following the process described below. It means you can start designing steel connections on your RAM model as not only does the geometry of the structure get imported, but also materials, cross-sections, and internal forces.
After importing, your structural model is displayed directly in the 3D graphic scene where you can select which structural joints and members you would like to design and code-check. IDEA StatiCa and Bentley RAM Structural System give you an efficient workflow for your structural steel design that saves time, minimizes errors, helps with optimization, and makes the data available to your colleagues or subcontractors doing detailing and fabrication.
The BIM link is managed by IDEA StatiCa Checkbot, an application for managing BIM workflows. This means for you:
