The interface between RAM elements and RAM Concept. I have modeled the complete structure in RAM elements. I have designed the isolated and combined footings. Unfortunately, RAM elements do not support the combined footing with 3 or more columns. ...

I believe it would be beneficial to incorporate stiffeners into skewed angled shear connections to enhance their strength and stability. Implementing this adjustment could improve performance and overall structural integrity.

When using the mouse wheel to zoom in or out, the screen should zoom in where the cursor is. RAM is the only software I have ever used that zooms in and out to a random, arbitrary, undefined point and it is very difficult to zoom in close to objec...

I am currently designing a horizontal column-beam-brace connection where one beam is a W12 section and the other is a W8 section. I would like to design the gusset plate using a bolted flange connection. However, I have noticed that the software c...

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 ...

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...

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

Within the concrete column view update, the following improvements to be implemented - Display the story name (i.e. PH Roof) instead of just story number, including the size. The ability to change the size and even define new sizes (e.g. 18x36, 18...

Currently RAM Frame only applies pseudo-diaphragm loads to beam/column frame lines that include columns and the loads are subdivided based on the column tributary areas, not the beams. However, in many cases, collectors need to be detailed for var...

Many times during troubleshooting operations it would be extremely helpful in being able to see how Elements is calculating stress, etc. It would be a great enhancement to have the option to view and print the detailed calculations rather than jus...
