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...

Allow construction grids to be converted to primary grids or provide new primary grid tools

Pretty self explanatory. Allow the user to convert a construction grid to a primary gird element. Grids are constantly changing throughout the design process due to requirements for columns to shift/etc. The tools for modifying primary grid system...

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...

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.

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

ignore minor out of plane shear stress

RAM concrete ignores out-of-plane shear stress less than 0.000050 ksi. Allow us to increase this threshold or ignore it entirely. I'm still getting walls flagged for 0.2 kips of out-of-plane shear in a 10' wide by 26" thick wall.

Apply Lateral Point(Nodal)/Line Loads Logically

Below is a list of thoughts about lateral point(nodal)/line loads. Incorporating any of the below ideas would be helpful. 1. Allow the user to apply lateral line loads as well as lateral point(nodal) loads. 2. Allow the user to apply lateral point...

Add Ability to Split Members in RAM Modeler

The ability to split members (beams and walls) in Modeler would be very helpful, rather than delete and reenter

Add CMU Material Defaults and Design

We design many buildings that include a combination of materials. Integrating masonry material properties by default and adding design for masonry would be useful, similar to Risa.
