Engineering workflow guidelines
- Confirm the design standard, edition, units and material specifications.
- Enter actual geometry and governing design forces.
- Check bolt layout, edge distances and plate dimensions against the intended detail.
- Review every applicable limit state. A missing check is not a passing check.
- Review assumptions, references and report limitations.
- Arrange independent verification by a qualified structural engineer.
Important: preliminary screening only; not a validated replacement for Bentley RAM Connection.
