time history analysis and steady state analysis

please add these two capabilities as structures are becoming more complex and dyamic analysis in time history or steady state are useful to study parameter like impact or vibration. I think STAAD has these features but I want this in RAM element too.

Wall Design - too many redundant design warnings

I don't need multiple design warnings for the same condition. For example, I have an out-of-plane shear strength warning for one of my segments. I have 26 warnings (associated with 26 combinations) for the same condition. The "worst" one listed in...

Allow user to see controlling limit state without opening the detailed report.

We should have the ability to see at least what limit state or element of the connection is failing without having to open the results output, which is very slow and time-consuming. If we were provided a small list of elements/limit states, we cou...

Concrete Column Slenderness Check to ACI 318

When the bottom of the Column is a foundation and user elects to use Col forces from RAM Concept whereby no Concept forces/moments and therefore RSS will use RAM Conc Analysis(for Col bottom forces and those moments are always negative), for a lac...

Update analysis and design engine

Elements needs an analysis overhaul. I have a model with less than 1000 frame members and 200 load combinations. Several cases have imposed displacements and Elements mandates a P-Delta analysis for this situation. It takes 10 minutes to analyze a...
