Generation of Wind Load for non-regular building shapes (e.g., C, L, and U shaped floor plates)

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...

Adding continuous footing design option to CMU or concrete wall design shells

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...

ASCE 7 Minimum Wind Load Application

ASCE 7 (10, 16, and 22 versions) section 27.1.5 specifies a minimum wind load on the entire building projected area (see commentary). This should be applied as a separate load case. RAM Frame treats this as individual floors shall not receive less...

Introduce staged PT stressing functionality to RAM Concept

It will be helpful for RAM Concept to allow the engineer to specify at what stage the PT slab or beam will be stressed, in a similar mechanism to what RAPT allows. It would also be helpful for RAM Concept to warn the user when Clause 8.1.6.2 is no...

Ease of Modelling Structure

Hi Karl, I hope this message finds you well. May I suggest adding a feature in RAM Concept where the structure can be modelled/imported based on AutoCAD layers, so if I select polyline from acad in Concept and ask it to import it as a slab and lik...

Option to include lateral triangular loads (earth pressure) on Wall at RSS

The idea is to have the option to include lateral loads on walls at RAM Structural system. There are a lot of projects with underground floors (garage) that have concrete walls to retain the earth around it Gustavo

Point Loads on Areas

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.

use ram frame to apply wind loads to non-diaphragm members

The ability to flag a member as a wind girt so wind loading is applied to the member if a diaphragm is not present.

Add Ability to Split Members in RAM Modeler

The ability to split members (beams and walls) in Modeler would be very helpful, rather than delete and reenter
