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.

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...

column orientation change in the column over the beam connection template Cause: such functionality is not implemented in the template yet Resolution

When reviewing connect results reports during design, it can be obnoxious and time-consuming to scroll through the 300+ load combinations created by RAM Frame in each section of the report before you see the geometry considerations and design chec...
