Notify User When Anything is Cleared by RAM

When concrete section cuts are deleted by the program due to geometry changes etc, a popup window notifies the user that this has been done. However, in at least one situation I recently discovered, this type of notification isn't present. And tha...

Allow Pseudo-Diaphragm Loads to be applied to beam-only frame lines

Currently RAM Frame only applies pseudo-diaphragm loads to beam/column frame lines that include columns and the loads are subdivided based on the column tributary areas, not the beams. However, in many cases, collectors need to be detailed for var...

RAM needs to calculate embodied carbon!

We are increasingly being asked to assess options on the basis of carbon intensity. It would save many engineers lots of time if RAM SS & RAM Concept had the capability of calculating embodied carbon. It is a very simple addition - it could be...

Click and hold mouse wheel to drag and pan model like in Bluebeam, ETABS, SAP, RISA, or Autodesk.

It would be useful so that we can accurately navigate the model. It is a real pain to navigate RAM as it is and it is much easier in competitors programs. Right now you click and hold the mouse wheel to navigate left and right but it is difficult ...

Sort Concrete Beam Section Property Data in RAM Modeler

Please add the ability to sort both the section property catalogue and the assign sizes dialogue in RAM Modeler for more efficient workflow. On concrete buildings, as the design and detailing progresses, we get quite a list of concrete beam size...

Wheel zoom should zoom into the spot that the cursor is at on the screen.

When using the mouse wheel to zoom in or out, the screen should zoom in where the cursor is. RAM is the only software I have ever used that zooms in and out to a random, arbitrary, undefined point and it is very difficult to zoom in close to objec...

RAM Frame - Find by element and graphically display shell element numbers & mesh warnings

Whenever RAM Frame gives a warning about distorted shell elements, the report log provides a list of the affected elements and their coordinates. However, the only way to identify these elements graphically is to move the cursor to the coordinates...
