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.
RAM SS- Remove deflection failure report for cambered beams
When the camber of a beam brings the deflection criteria within parameters, the option to turn off flagging them as failed in report would be greatly appreciated.
In a large job with several repetitive floors with cambered beams, there can be hun...
Apply different % composite rules for different members
We generally require a different minimum % composite for beams as opposed to girders. It would be beneficial to apply member specific rules, similar to how different deflection criteria is applied.
Concrete Wall module - Add a report section to show boundary elements geometric checks
Enhancement submitted on behalf of Taye Ojo, from Jacobs Engineering Group. CS0222072 – PBI PRODUCT BACKLOG ITEM 1509265: Is there a way to include in the stresses that are compared vs 0.2F´c for the check of section 18.10.6.3.
RAM Connection should have the capability to design any kind of joints
It becomes difficult when there is no template that can apply to joint for connection design. For instance, I have I-section column and hollow rectangular section beam. There is no template that can design such kind of joint.
The missing component in a largely automated workflow is the ability to draw design strips/span segments, specify settings and read results through the RAM API. It would be a massive help if this functionality was incorporated. We've seen other co...

Future consideration
I am designing a Column-Gusset-Base Plate Connection for a Steel Specially Concentric Braced Frame and I am wondering: Is it possible to modify the location position of the shear lug? I would like to align it with the centerline of the column like...
Updating Cracked Factors in Ram Modeler should not delete wall design groups/section cuts/rebar assignments in RAM Concrete Wall
Currently, if the user sets up wall designs in Ram Concrete Wall, updating the cracked factor in RAM Modeler deletes all Concrete Wall groups/section cuts/rebar assignments/etc stating that "the geometry of the wall was updated." This gets extreme...
