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 ...
RAM does not currently have a direct way to get the combined reaction from two tilt-up wall panels at a joint with a gap assignment. This makes it labor-intensive to design deep foundation elements such as piers/caissons which are commonly used at...
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

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...
Please add selection set presets for groups of load cases in the analyze dialogue in RAM Frame. I always have at least groups of load combos for strength and groups for deflection, and sometimes have groups for modal analysis. It would be great to...
Import DWG drawings to be used as a reference layout in RSS, similar to what you do in Ram Concept.
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?
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...
Flexibility in modifying the tributary height for Wind Load exposure for buildings with varying levels of diaphragms
RAM wind load currently gets applied taking the trib height as half the difference between the two levels. It would be tremendously useful if there was an option to modify the trib height, thereby playing with full height or partial height exposur...
