Currently it appears the only options for a flange moment connection plate to the web of a column is for a tapered plate. An option for coped and full depth plates should be included, similar Risa (see attached). I am reinforcing a building becaus...

Enhancement submitted on behalf of Mohamed Tramboo. CS0249944 - PBI PRODUCT BACKLOG ITEM 1474359: When we provide primary reinforcement in RAM Connection, the ACI 318 code and the AISC DG1, requires the anchors to have a certain embedment depth so...

It seems very dangerous that RAM will allow you to put loads in for a connection that the program will ignore for design. The ability to put the loads in should be restricted or a warning should be added if RAM ignores loads.

When configuring horizontal brace "boomerang" connections with gusset plates bolted to support members, braces often exist on both sides of the support member. RAM Connection provides specific joint types to model these dual-sided configurations. ...

In base plate for shear check of anchor bolts, the resultant shear Vua is calculated using Vuad and Vuat. But RAM Connection report nowhere defines the derivation of Vuad and Vuat. This shall be clearly defined in the calculation showing Vuad is T...

It would be excellent if the RAM Connection program had the option to export to Excel the report of the input data and results of the connection design.

One of the first options is to have more connection options that reflect real-world cases of beams to tubular columns. Currently, there are very few options for these connections, and the existing ones are not very useful. It would be beneficial t...

We request the ability to programmatically access, extract, and utilize the data generated in the Connection Design module of STAAD.Pro Advanced, as well as in RAM Connection, through OpenSTAAD, macros, Python or VBA scripts, or a dedicated API. A...

Ram connection has functions for define stiffener plates or channels on base plate, but in many cases it is required to design base plate with User defined Stiffeners. Users want to control stiffener size and number of stiffeners, also they want t...
