RAM Structural System

Custom Load Combinations in RAM Steel Beam/Steel Column

Please add the ability to generate load combinations and create custom load combinations in RAM Steel Beam and RAM Steel Column for the gravity loads. Updated codes and additional requirements (such as the need to incorporate FM Global datasheets)...

Add tornado wind loads.

Beginning in ASCE 7-22/IBC 2024, structural designs must consider tornado wind loads for essential facilities. The calculation of these loads and the associated load combinations should be added to RSS.

Generation of Wind Load for non-regular building shapes (e.g., C, L, and U shaped floor plates)

We don't see many rectangular structures these days. Would be great if RAM Frame could generate wind loads for non-regular building shapes (e.g., "C", "L", & "U" shaped floor plates). This would be a time-saver having not to hand calculate and...

Import DWG drawings to be used as a reference layout in RSS, similar to what you do in Ram Concept.

When you are defining a floor in RSS, it would be very useful to be able to import drawings in DWG formats to be used as a template or reference file to define the floor data. You can do this in Ram Concept.; why not in RSS?

Add Wood Framing to Ram SS

Please add the ability to model and design wood beams in Ram SS. We design many structures that are a combination of wood, concrete and steel, and including design of wood members would not be difficult to incorporate. It would help RAM catch up w...

DataAccess for Nodal Loads

We need a way to access and edit nodal loads through data access. It is painful having to manually define and assign all the point loads through the modeler elevation view. Could we at least assign them in frame? Instead of assigning point loads t...
