ASCE 7 Minimum Wind Load Application

ASCE 7 (10, 16, and 22 versions) section 27.1.5 specifies a minimum wind load on the entire building projected area (see commentary). This should be applied as a separate load case. RAM Frame treats this as individual floors shall not receive less...

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?

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...

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...

Option to include lateral triangular loads (earth pressure) on Wall at RSS

The idea is to have the option to include lateral loads on walls at RAM Structural system. There are a lot of projects with underground floors (garage) that have concrete walls to retain the earth around it Gustavo

use ram frame to apply wind loads to non-diaphragm members

The ability to flag a member as a wind girt so wind loading is applied to the member if a diaphragm is not present.

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...

Unbalanced Snow Loads

I would love to see expanded snow loading capabilities that let you apply different load distributions that are enveloped for design. Specifically for gable roof structures, ASCE 7 requires that you apply a "balanced" load (uniform across the whol...
