Add directly-welded moment connections for beam-to-girder configurations.

We often use directly-welded moment connections, with beam flanges that are full-pen welded to the supporting member. RAM Connection can do that for beam-to-column connections, but it would be great if you could add that connection for beam-to-gir...

time history analysis and steady state analysis

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.

Unbalanced Snow Loads on Cantilevers

I am wondering if there has been any progress on implementing 50% unbalanced snow loads for cantilevers. In a forum post from 2020, Seth Guthrie said that it was on the backlog ( https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum...

RAM needs to calculate embodied carbon!

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...

I checked with Bentley support team for design of Concrete column in RAM Elelments. As i can see the design can be performed in two different ways.

Output - Output - Design – Reinforced concrete – Members Concrete column module. But the Bentley team suggested checking the column design under the concrete column module. In this way, only the program gives detailed design reports. But it looks ...

Have a way to create custom Shapes and Materials in STAAD Built-in

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...

Trim flange widths for beam to column-web (BCW) connections to create added connection strength.

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...
