Flexibility in modifying the tributary height for Wind Load exposure for buildings with varying levels of diaphragms

RAM wind load currently gets applied taking the trib height as half the difference between the two levels. It would be tremendously useful if there was an option to modify the trib height, thereby playing with full height or partial height exposur...

Ability to move end points of Line Load

Similar to having handles on area loads, the ability to graphically move line (and point) loads would be really really helpful.

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 ...

Update clear cover to beams & columns in one go without selecting beams and columns individually multiple times

Update clear cover to beams & columns in one go without selecting beams and columns individually multiple times. This task can be cumbersome, and I believe that getting the option to edit multiple column's information is a great idea to introd...

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...

Update the design of Tapered Members using DG 25 2ed

Currently only the AISC 360– 2010 can be used with the design guide 25 1st edition for tapered member. It is necessary to have the option to use de DG 25 2ed for the AISC 2016 and 2022.

Ability to Save Custom Shapes to File

It would be great to have the ability to save shapes to the file instead of locally. It can be difficult to keep track of custom shapes used on past projects.

Allow Pseudo-Diaphragm Loads to be applied to beam-only frame lines

Currently RAM Frame only applies pseudo-diaphragm loads to beam/column frame lines that include columns and the loads are subdivided based on the column tributary areas, not the beams. However, in many cases, collectors need to be detailed for var...

The interface between RAM elements and RAM Concept.

The interface between RAM elements and RAM Concept. I have modeled the complete structure in RAM elements. I have designed the isolated and combined footings. Unfortunately, RAM elements do not support the combined footing with 3 or more columns. ...
