Sometimes I have two models and would like to combine them.Unfortunately the OpenRE format does not include steel design properties. I would like to either add Steel design properties to the OpenRE file and/OR add an option to import directly from...

I would like to be able to model nonsymmetrical systems where baseplates are considered as pinned when in uplift and semi-rigid when in compression.This works well for symmetrical systems, but when the system is non-symmetrical, I have to make two...

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 ...

Using the analysis results from FEM and wall end support node reactions of shells, it would be great to have the option to design continuous footings via the foundation module similar to the spread and combined footings design module, or via extra...

RAM Steel does the vibration check based on FloorVibe. However, with complex geometry finite element basis on design guide 11 is required to check vibrations. Other programs like ETABS, Robot Autodesk or Tekla does these calculations. Please have...

I would like a button that would clear ALL loads in ALL load cases from the selected nodes

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...
