For a BCW connection the stiffeners can be provided at top and bottom flange location of beam. But in design no calculation is shown for the same. So the need to to introduce AISC Single plate enhancement for BCW plate stiffener thickness checks. ...

Ram connection has functions for define stiffener plates or channels on base plate, but in many cases it is required to design base plate with User defined Stiffeners. Users want to control stiffener size and number of stiffeners, also they want t...

In the concrete wall module, special boundary element zone requirements are only checked against the displacement method (ACI 18.10.6.2). In ACI 318-14 and 19 section 18.10.6.2 is directed at slender walls with Hw/Lw >= 2. If the aspect ratio o...

No Grout base plate - supported y leveling nut are used in utility industry to prevent rust/corrosion. The anchors need to be reviewed for bending in that small height and so is the base plate. It would be nice if Ram connection can add this featu...

When will software be updated for CSA S16-24? We are seeing projects where this is a requirement. So far, we have been able to confirm that CSA S16-19 is acceptable, but that may not be possible much longer. Thank you.

Need a column cap plate with moment - (4) bolts each side - (8) bolts total for a Wide Flange Beam and a HSS column. And ability to add stiffeners for cap plate to column

When assessing a transfer floor, applying (and updating) transfer loads can be a time consuming process. A feature to export reactions from the floor(s) above and import to the transfer floor model as imposed loads would save time and errors. Pref...

In the Masonry Wall Module, add an option in the diagrams tab for a graph of reactions on the base of each strip of wall segment. I often need to check an existing wall footing under an existing wall with a new opening in the wall. When a new open...

The Concrete Beam Design module and the Concrete Column Design modules are not fully integrated with Elements with round-trip functionality. You can export geometry, loads, and selected design parameters from an Elements model to these modules, pe...

Once the design of the column base plate is performed, it is expected that the shift of the analysis axis would be considered in the design results (i.e. anchor tension). Currently, RAM Connection considers only an additional moment produced due t...
