It will be nice to have aluminium materials in the design options; this will help those of us who frequently check aluminium member capacity; STAAD may have this; but we need this in Elements. These will make Elements complete program.

It would be great to have the ability to save shapes to the file instead of locally. It can be difficult to keep track of custom shapes used on past projects.

It has come to my attention that the program is using the Foundation base-soil friction coefficient to compute the passive pressure resistance when using Columb (it's using this to back calculate "delta"). To be frank, this is just wrong IMO. The ...

Elements needs an analysis overhaul. I have a model with less than 1000 frame members and 200 load combinations. Several cases have imposed displacements and Elements mandates a P-Delta analysis for this situation. It takes 10 minutes to analyze a...

The ability in the tilit-up module to apply concentrated (vertical and out-of-plane) loads at locations in-between supports of the walls.

Provide triangular bearing pressure results in either the report or on the diagrams page. Provide triangular load distribution in the Home page for earth pressure lateral loads.

Output - Output - Design – Reinforced concrete – Members Concrete column module. But the Bentley team suggested checking the column design under the concrete column module. In this way, only the program gives detailed design reports. But it looks ...

Ability to generate moving loads in RAM Elements similar to STAAD.Pro.

Ability to add point loads or line loads to areas. Areas would then distribute the loads to the supporting members based on the direction of the area.

Currently, the program seems to only design per NDS provisions for solid-sawn lumber and glulam. It would be beneficial to add the ability to analyze and design LVL, PSL, and other structural composite lumber types. The provisions are very similar...
