Update AS3600 to latest version (2018) in Ram Concrete Module for concrete beam, column & wall design

Wind loads tributary to "ground" are not applied even if there are stories below ground. Please add an option to allow the user to apply these currently neglected loads to the structure.

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...

Add wind uplift load cases to RAM Frame.

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?

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...

Update AS1170.4 to latest version (2024) in Ram Structural Systems

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...

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

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