Could we get the option for other than rectangular openings in shells? Round openings in particular would be very helpful, especially in an FEA program where sharp corners create large stress concentrations that may not even be present when many o...

Pretty self explanatory. Allow the user to convert a construction grid to a primary gird element. Grids are constantly changing throughout the design process due to requirements for columns to shift/etc. The tools for modifying primary grid system...

I am wondering if there has been any progress on implementing 50% unbalanced snow loads for cantilevers. In a forum post from 2020, Seth Guthrie said that it was on the backlog ( https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum...

Being able to create custom load combos using the API would be extremely useful if there was an option to specify which plans to generate along with each combo (stress, force, deflection, reactions, soil bearing). Having to create the plans manual...

It looks like RAM Concept uses an approximate method per Table 22.5.8.2 for calculating Vc and does not use the alternative option Vc per 22.5.8.3. There are cases where the shear capacity per 22.5.8.3 is less than the approximate method Per Tabl...

Currently, if the user sets up wall designs in Ram Concrete Wall, updating the cracked factor in RAM Modeler deletes all Concrete Wall groups/section cuts/rebar assignments/etc stating that "the geometry of the wall was updated." This gets extreme...

The missing component in a largely automated workflow is the ability to draw design strips/span segments, specify settings and read results through the RAM API. It would be a massive help if this functionality was incorporated. We've seen other co...

Please add feature to be able to have custom templates for ram concept models that are embedded in ram structural models.

Hi Karl, I hope this message finds you well, can you please incorporate a feature where we can perform some basic artimatic operations when inputting the values in the tab?. Kind regards, AG
