Section 2204.3 of the 2022 California Building Code requires anchor-bolt bending to be considered for shear transfer with a base-plate with oversized holes. Please add this check / design to Ram Connection.

Currently, the program seems to only design per NDS provisions for solid-sawn lumber and glulam. It would be beneficial to add the ability to analyze and design LVL, PSL, and other structural composite lumber types. The provisions are very similar...

RAM connection is not having an option to design the thru bolt connection - baseplate is connected to the concrete with thru bolt. Instead of post anchor and preinstalled anchors, sometimes it is needed to use thru bolt connection. Please find the...

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...

The ability to cancel last point when drawing an area load, deck assignment or mat foundation like you can in RAM Concept. It's especially frustrating when drawing a mat foundation and you accidentally click the wrong point and have to start over ...

I don't need multiple design warnings for the same condition. For example, I have an out-of-plane shear strength warning for one of my segments. I have 26 warnings (associated with 26 combinations) for the same condition. The "worst" one listed in...

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.

In the current project I am working on, I need to design steel supports for the pipework. In some cases there are torsional moments and their effects on base plate have to be addressed. At the moment, Base Plate design in RAM Connection does not i...

To model masonry walls using the wide column method, it is necessary to place properties of the transformed section, hence the need to be able to edit the properties of the section without having to change its measurements.

Please, add an option to select members by section type or material.
