RE: STEEL: Connection Design Software

I'd be interested in hearing from others that have used RAM Advanse for
steel connection design. I recently had RAM Advanse loaded on my
computer but have not yet used it. My copy does appear to include the
Steel Connection software.

It appears to me that the steel connection design is performed on joints
from the structural model and analysis in RAM Advanse; i.e., it does not
appear to be possible to design a connection independently using
external load applications?

Ram makes an add-on for Advanse that does connections.
