RAM Connection 2025 Patch 1 (25.00.01.10)

The Structural Products development team is pleased to announce the availability of RAM Connection 2025 Patch 1 (25.00.01.10) is steel connection analysis and design software for virtually any connection type.


Resolved Issues:

Issue Found in License Service Library: We’ve identified a problem in license service library in 2025 version that may cause licensing issues during use as RAM Connection may stop communicating correctly with the licensing system, potentially leading to unexpected behavior failing to recognize your license or becoming unresponsive. This issue has been resolved with in this update.

Design Status Freezing When Selecting Connections: In RAM Connection for RAM Structural System, the application became unresponsive when selecting members and connections in "Show Design Status" mode due to unnecessary invalidation of the full design state when adjusting load case filters. The issue was fixed by limiting the invalidation logic to only the affected load conditions, restoring near-instantaneous responsiveness and consistent behavior as in the 2024 version. (1683706)

Incorrect Limiting Edge Distance for EN Anchor Group Blowout: The EN anchor group blowout check did not properly limit the edge distance. The fix now enforces the correct limit by capping the edge distance to 2c. (1667713)



RAM Connection is the ideal solution when structural engineers or designers need to check a specific connection, design a single connection for multiple joints, or optimize each connection in a structure. Analyze, design, and verify structural steel connections, all with comprehensive calculations, including seismic compliance. RAM Connection can check or design connections in seconds. Whether you design connections or need to check connections designed by the shop, RAM Connection is the software for you. In just one low-cost package, you get for steel frame connections the AISC ASD and LRFD, AS 4100-1998, BS5950-1, CSA S16-14, EN1993-EC3, GB50017 and IS800 connection design and optimization for shear and moment connections, braced frame connections, splices, and horizontal bracing connections. For truss connections you get the tubular connections design according to the AISC and the HSS Connection Design Manual. Through its seamless integration with the RAM Structural System, RAM Elements, and STAAD.Pro, RAM Connection raises the bar to a new level of productivity. All data regarding member sizes, joint geometry, and forces are transferred directly from either the RAM Structural System, RAM Elements, or STAAD.Pro to RAM Connection.
