It is common to set the primary steel effective depth "d" at one depth for all beams in one direction (ie, North / South). The used a different effective "d2" depth for the transverse beams reinforcing steel (ie, East / West) to pass below. This c...

Autodesk, CSI, and other applications provide the users a vast API to allow their creativity to facilitate the design process. Give us a proper API in a real programming language such as Python, C#, or C++, that allows users to create custom funct...

Ram Connection provides output including "Geometric Considerations". The descriptive labels are incorrect. I suggest that Bentley, Ram Connection make corrections. The Output notes "external" and "internal" flanges. The Help section notes "top" an...

can we include the coordinates in the Load's help window, as it's a bit difficult to understand the way Moments need to be applied (forces can be understood from the X & Y, and vertical towards gravity, it just says around X/Z and not its dire...

Add tapered beam and column design for design and/or evaluation of Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings. The MBMA design procedures would need to be added to RAM Elements.

Add a Tapered Column and Beam design options to all of RAM SS modules

Add a feature to allow the mass from elements to be associated with other multiple diaphragms on the same level.

It is especially needed for copped beams to the web of W columns connections with extended end plates.
