Autodesk, CSI, and other applications provide the users a vast API to allow their creativity to facilitate the design process. Give us a proper API in a real programming language such as Python, C#, or C++, that allows users to create custom funct...

The shear wall module bar template is limited to 3 curtains. Please increase to 5 or more.

I have a suggestion/idea. Why can't the program allow the user to open multiple windows in RAM SS? It helps the user to understand more in a better way. As a beginner users will make mistakes or errors and it will make it easy for them to understa...

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...

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 ...

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...

Change RAM SS from a “matrix softening” analysis to a Finite Element (FEM) analysis app.

Add feature to create a DFX file and/or Revit file for Special Joist (SP) designs to add to the design documents.

All the reports given by RAM have values that have many decimal places. Anything more than 3 digits after decimal places is not usually significant in the results.

A lot of the other programs have options to plot the interstory drift. RAM frame gives the numbers which need to be looked individually and can cause mistakes. An option to plot the max drifts or drift at a certain point over the story height will...
