Often times I create 3D models of similar frames but they have different tributary widths.For our 2D analysis we apply the loads to the nodes and members and not to areas.When we have to transition to 3D models, it would be great to have the abili...
In Ram columns, Be able to change shear links spacings
In Ram concrete columns, there is often an error in the design of the columns which is due to the spacing of shear links whereas it is impossible to change the spacing manually, thus making all the columns design failing due to a shear links spaci...
Currently, the concrete column design forces report only shows dead and live loads, but I would like to get combination loads that may include wind, seismic, etc.
It would be extremely useful to be able to create "regions" on a spread footing design with different soil depths.When designing a spread footing/retaining wall combination, there isn't a good single solution at the moment.It would also be nice to...
The most recent developer's guide is from 2017, so I was wondering if we could get an updated document? I know that at the very least joist stuff has been added since then. And along those lines, I'd love to be able to pull joist self-weight direc...
Early Age Strength Checks for Temporary Loading during Construction
It is well documented that all slabs undergo a variety of loading combinations during construction when the concrete has not yet achieved its target design strength. In the UK this is commonly during the second and third weeks, following the slab ...

Future consideration
Wind loads tributary to "ground" are not applied even if there are stories below ground. Please add an option to allow the user to apply these currently neglected loads to the structure.
Add special boundary element design for shear walls with Hw/Lw < 2. ACI 318-19 Section 18.10.6.3
In the concrete wall module, special boundary element zone requirements are only checked against the displacement method (ACI 18.10.6.2). In ACI 318-14 and 19 section 18.10.6.2 is directed at slender walls with Hw/Lw >= 2. If the aspect ratio o...
No Grout base plate - supported y leveling nut are used in utility industry to prevent rust/corrosion. The anchors need to be reviewed for bending in that small height and so is the base plate. It would be nice if Ram connection can add this featu...
