RAM Elements

Allow load-area gravity (downward) loads to use projected length on sloped members.

Enhancement submitted on behalf of Jason McCool. CS0726453 - PBI PRODUCT BACKLOG ITEM 2120346: The enhancement will let gravity (downward) area loads be distributed over the projected length on sloped members, matching the behavior already availab...

Masonry Wall Module - Save to network locations

In a ticket with Bentley Support, we were told that saving a Masonry Wall (*.msw) file directly to a network location is not a supported or recommended workflow. At the moment, when we create a new file and try to "save as" to a network location, ...

Interactive Result Contours with Real-Time Result Probe

RAM Elements currently allows users to visualize the deformed shape of a structure and obtain displacement results by selecting individual nodes or reviewing result tables. While this provides accurate numerical information, the workflow becomes i...

Add Color Contour Visualization for Structural Displacements

RAM Elements currently allows users to view the deformed shape of a structure; however, displacement results are primarily obtained by querying individual nodes or reviewing result tables. For medium and large structural models, it is difficult to...

Allow Spring Assignment Directly to Area Elements

Currently, RAM Elements allows spring supports to be assigned only at nodes. While this approach is suitable for simple models, it becomes impractical for projects where foundations, mats, slabs-on-grade, or other area elements require distributed...

Display Envelope Force and Moment Diagrams in the Main Model View

RAM Elements allows force and moment diagrams to be displayed for individual load cases and load combinations. Envelope values can also be reviewed in separate result windows; however, it is currently not possible to display envelope force and mom...

Add User-Defined Result Range Filters for Contour Plots

When reviewing stress or force contour plots in RAM Elements, all values are displayed using the complete range of results. While this provides the overall distribution, it makes it difficult to focus on specific value ranges during model evaluati...

Include equations and references for demands/capacities for things like sliding resistance, etc, in Ram Elements footing module, similar to Ram Connection.

It would be very appropriate to include equations for demand/capacities in the report for things like sliding resistance, moment, shear, etc. For example, for sliding resistance, the passive equation, the cohesion equation, and the coefficient of ...
