Applied Beta Angle of a member in STAAD model isn't working in RAM connection design
I have few members of a structure frame that were oriented 90 degree using Beta Angle. However, this applied Beta Angle no more works in RAM connection when I try to design a connection in STAAD RAM connection.
RAM Elements Retaining Wall Module Bearing Pressure/Load Diagrams
Provide triangular bearing pressure results in either the report or on the diagrams page. Provide triangular load distribution in the Home page for earth pressure lateral loads.
ram standalone has reports, etc updated yet that is not available within Ram when you work directly within staad...why not? Current report formatting for Ram is awful
Lifting Lug & Cap Plate Connection Design Within Ram / Staad
Lifting lugs and cap plates are always needed for modular design which is done within Staad + Ram Connection...these are standard type of connections and their design should be accommodated within the programs vs having to use other programs to do...
Shear Wall Design Groups and Reinforcement gets deleted if I change f'c or stiffness modifiers or thicknesses.
Please revise shear wall module to not automatically delete sections cuts, groups, wall reinforcing, etc. when I change f'c, wall stiffness modifiers, or thicknesses.
Provide a better, cleaner translation when importing a RAM SS model into RAM Elements. The Centerline layout in RAM SS is difficult to work with in RAM Elements.
Provide option for web panel plate by replacing existing member web plate to new web plate by using CJP weld at panel zone in MEP knee connection
This provision is useful in PEB buildings where all structural members are formed by using built-up plates. By using this option, we can avoid supplementary web plates uses in connections.
