It is necessary to have the possibility of having multiple response spectrum available in the same model. Ram Elements is the only program that I use that is limited to just one response spectrum. Pleas consider the possibility to include multiple...
The ability to add steel beam web openings would be very helpful. SBeam is the only way to do that now, but it requires pulling loads out of Elements, instead of being integrated into the main program or even the steel beam module.
Many times I will change one load, for example a seismic load which is palced at the Ridge. Then I have to reanalyze and redesign the entire model, every load case. There should be a way to analyze only the affected load cases and redesign only th...
