RAM Multiple Load Cases/Combinations in Gravity Beams/Columns Module

There should be options for checking gravity beams/columns for multiple load combinations. Having to select whether snow or live loads are to be used is a bit 1980's era softwaresk. Additionally, it would be beneficial to be allowed to apply wind ...

Internalize Floor Vibration Analysis/Design

Given the apparent impasse on acquiring licenses to FloorVibe, and the number of hurdles in the way of using FloorVibe, it seems that integrating this analysis directly within RAM SS would be beneficial. For a long time this was a selling point of...

Bring RAM SS into the 21st century

It's now 2024, many if not all of the requests in this forum have been open requests for YEARS and in some cases over a DECADE. Why is this program not being updated other than for new code requirements? Wind uplift still has not been implemented ...

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.

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...

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?
