Currently, RAM can design "Joists" but doesn't specifically design the members of the joist. As a joist designer, we would love to be able to design the sections of a joist per SJI (Double angles, webs, etc) This can be implemented by Bentley, or ...

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

Update AS3600 to latest version (2018) in Ram Concrete Module for concrete beam, column & wall design

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...

column orientation change in the column over the beam connection template Cause: such functionality is not implemented in the template yet Resolution

Add Fixed end beams to the gravity beams for design.

Currently for beam to column connections, if the beam is HSS then the column must also be HSS. This is very limiting. It would be nice to allow HSS beam to WF column connections. The forces are often shear, moment & torsion. It would be great ...

It will be nice to have aluminium materials in the design options; this will help those of us who frequently check aluminium member capacity; STAAD may have this; but we need this in Elements. These will make Elements complete program.

Include the self-weight of braces in the dead load.
