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...

Lifting lugs and cap plates are always needed for modular design which is done within Staad + Ram Connection...these are standard type of connections and their design should be accommodated within the programs vs having to use other programs to do...

It would be great if we could create stage sequencing where a stage number is assigned to every member. Add the ability to analyze and design separate stages of construction such as anything stage 1 or lessstage 2 or lessstage 3 or less The analyz...

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

I am designing a Column-Gusset-Base Plate Connection for a Steel Specially Concentric Braced Frame and I am wondering: Is it possible to modify the location position of the shear lug? I would like to align it with the centerline of the column like...

Update AS1170.4 to latest version (2024) in Ram Structural Systems

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.

When you are defining a floor in RSS, it would be very useful to be able to import drawings in DWG formats to be used as a template or reference file to define the floor data. You can do this in Ram Concept.; why not in RSS?

We don't see many rectangular structures these days. Would be great if RAM Frame could generate wind loads for non-regular building shapes (e.g., "C", "L", & "U" shaped floor plates). This would be a time-saver having not to hand calculate and...

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...
