Allow gusset BASE PLATE connections to be assigned at corner columns connected to braces in two directions.
Currently, there is no way to design a gusset base plate connection if the column base has braces coming into it from 2 different planes. You can't even assign 2 separate connections, one for each plane, like you can at CBB joints.
Currently you can only export the end reactions to a report. It would be beneficial to be able to export the reactions at ever node (specifically to a text file) a long the wall for foundation design.
You are able to model braced frames with HSS column, beam, and brace in RAM Modeler/Frame. However when you push this to RAM connection you are unable to design the connection at this joint. This is very limiting.
Check the number of stirrup legs required for beams per ACI 318-19 9.7.6.2.2
In ACI 318-19, they added a maximum spacing between stirrup legs in beams. I think the program bars generated in RAM concept should increase the number of legs to meet this criteria.

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...
