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...
When will software be updated for CSA S16-24? We are seeing projects where this is a requirement. So far, we have been able to confirm that CSA S16-19 is acceptable, but that may not be possible much longer. Thank you.
Could we get the option for other than rectangular openings in shells? Round openings in particular would be very helpful, especially in an FEA program where sharp corners create large stress concentrations that may not even be present when many o...
I would like to request that you make an option available to make the units for the bar presentation different from the units that I work with in plan. I tend to work with inches when I am adjusting the geometries of slabs and bars because working...

Add connection type - 'Toe Plates'. Commonly used on site to provide a moment connection between cross-beams. Add connection type - 'Base Plate - Column on Beam Top Flange' Add feature to allow gusset plate lengths at beam interface to be modified...
Shear Wall Design Groups and Reinforcement gets deleted if I change f'c or stiffness modifiers or thicknesses.
Please revise shear wall module to not automatically delete sections cuts, groups, wall reinforcing, etc. when I change f'c, wall stiffness modifiers, or thicknesses.
Provide a better, cleaner translation when importing a RAM SS model into RAM Elements. The Centerline layout in RAM SS is difficult to work with in RAM Elements.
