RAM Concept - Define a default template and save other default settings

When creating a new model in RAM Concept, it would be useful to have the ability to specify a default template file that all new models are built off of. This would make it easier for users within an organization to follow the same standards when ...

OPTION TO ADD CUSTOM OR "OTHER" LOAD CASE FOR GRAVITY LOADS

There is currently no option so specify an "Other" load case when adding gravity loads in Modeler through PropTable - just Dead and Live - even though it is possible to assign a nodal load to an "Other" Load Type when in Modeler elevation view. RA...

Allow Ram Beam and Column module to report / show reactions and base plates for frame beams and columns

Allow the user an option for the beam and column module to show end reactions of frame beams and include frame columns in base plate design / summary. Even if with a warning. In many cases I need to define a member as a frame member because it is ...

User Customizable Cp Leeward Value

Allow for users to specify/override the Cp Leeward value in ASCE 7 wind generation to account for buildings built as additions to existing structures or allow for future additions to the current model. Current wind generation is unconservative in ...

User selects steel panel zone capacity equations

Setting the rigid end zone to 0% reduction consistent with the panel zone element assignment causes RAM to use the first set of equations for panel zone shear capacity (panel-zone deformation effect on stability ignored). I think the user to speci...

Allow for user input of base plate dimensions.

It would be very useful to be able to input width and/or length of base plate dimensions. If width is input, length would be optimized or if length is input, width would be optimized, or if both dimensions were input it would do code checks based ...

Option to define beam unbraced length

Add the ability to explicitly define the flange bracing points or unbraced length for beam top and bottom flanges. Currently the program options are limited to only specify whether or not the deck provides flange bracing, but for structures withou...
