Problem: Beam to column-web connections (BCW) create dimensional conflicts between beam flange width, and the space between column flanges. This often occurs when the bolt lines project and beam flange lines project inside of the web space and wit...

Problem: Beam to column-web connections (BCW) sometimes require the bolt lines outside of the web space and beyond the flange lines. With double angles, the beam web must fit between the two angles, which becomes a fit-up and erection problem. Sin...

Please consider allowing the use of Parallel flange members as columns in column-column and column-beam connections.

It's now 2024, many if not all of the requests in this forum have been open requests for YEARS and in some cases over a DECADE. Why is this program not being updated other than for new code requirements? Wind uplift still has not been implemented ...

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.

As part of user assigned beam sizing, occasionally would like to override the default camber value reported.

Please Incorporate the Splice Connections consider the seismic provisions from AISC 341-10 codes in RAM connection software. This will be very useful for High seismic zone.

99% of the details I have seen for vertical x-bracing shows one member continuous. I design a lot of connections for a steel fabricator and I am always required to perform a hand calc or 2 ram connection calcs with one being the horizontal X-brace...

Adding an axial design check for beams or collectors to a braced frame lateral frame system. In particularly for rigid diaphragms these forces are not applied to horizontal members and require separate hand checks or analysis in another program. T...

Provide keyboard shortcuts for RAM Modeler similar to CAD to speed up time it takes to create a model.
