We are increasingly being asked to assess options on the basis of carbon intensity. It would save many engineers lots of time if RAM SS & RAM Concept had the capability of calculating embodied carbon. It is a very simple addition - it could be...

The ability to cancel last point when drawing an area load, deck assignment or mat foundation like you can in RAM Concept. It's especially frustrating when drawing a mat foundation and you accidentally click the wrong point and have to start over ...

There doesn't seem to be a way (at least not obvious) to add custom shapes and materials in the STAAD built-in Ram Connection. So if you have a custom connection like this then you must use the stand-alone. This is frustrating when you are using s...

It would be useful so that we can accurately navigate the model. It is a real pain to navigate RAM as it is and it is much easier in competitors programs. Right now you click and hold the mouse wheel to navigate left and right but it is difficult ...

It would be helpful to have a column/post to beam connection, basically the inverse of the column cap connection. Also be able to use round sections in this and the column cap connection type

Problem: Beam to column-web connections (BCW) create dimensional conflicts between beam flange width, and the space between column flanges. This often occurs when the bolt lines project and beam flange lines project inside of the web space and wit...

Problem: Beam to column-web connections (BCW) sometimes require the bolt lines outside of the web space and beyond the flange lines. With double angles, the beam web must fit between the two angles, which becomes a fit-up and erection problem. Sin...

Please consider allowing the use of Parallel flange members as columns in column-column and column-beam connections.

Many times I will change one load, for example a seismic load which is palced at the Ridge. Then I have to reanalyze and redesign the entire model, every load case. There should be a way to analyze only the affected load cases and redesign only th...

Within the concrete column view update, the following improvements to be implemented - Display the story name (i.e. PH Roof) instead of just story number, including the size. The ability to change the size and even define new sizes (e.g. 18x36, 18...
