A great feature would be if the user were able to select via checkboxes which parameters in the joint were included in the optimization or redesign feature. For example, for a shear connection, if I wanted to keep (5) 3/4" bolts, but I wanted the ...

Incorporate Crack width checks for Spread or combined footing in Foundation design module. It helps users to check the design of footing in aspects rather to go outside the program and check the things.

I have recently been requested to design a nonstandard profile splice joint. The profile consisted of double-up 200PFC. Unfortunately, RAM does not have this option. I had to take this task to the FEA and spend long time analysing connection. This...

The shear wall module bar template is limited to 3 curtains. Please increase to 5 or more.

I have a suggestion/idea. Why can't the program allow the user to open multiple windows in RAM SS? It helps the user to understand more in a better way. As a beginner users will make mistakes or errors and it will make it easy for them to understa...

Setting the rigid end zone to 0% reduction consistent with the panel zone element assignment causes RAM to use the first set of equations for panel zone shear capacity (panel-zone deformation effect on stability ignored). I think the user to speci...

It would be very useful to be able to input width and/or length of base plate dimensions. If width is input, length would be optimized or if length is input, width would be optimized, or if both dimensions were input it would do code checks based ...

Especially if a model is very large, I usually start the analysis or design and go to another program while it runs. I would be great if the application icon would flash or some kind of very subtle alert when the program is done running or has fai...

Add feature to create a DFX file and/or Revit file for Special Joist (SP) designs to add to the design documents.
