Joist self weights are not included in the analysis by default due to varying manufacturer SWs, but you could allow us to specify a self weight in the beam module under the criteria/joists menu.

When using the RAM Concept module within RAM Structural System, the program forces you to use the default layers and settings in RAM Concept. However, if you have a heavily customized template for Concept, there's no way to apply it to the level e...

It would be nice if the integrated RAM Connection would allow a permanent override of brace angle on CBB and CVR connections. RAM SS designs to an analytical line at the top of the beams, and we design braced frame connections to the centerline. t...

Provide an option so that perpendicular footing loads are not applied to the continuous footing. I'm not sure I understand why the program does this in the first place. It seems like you are accounting for the load twice under the current rules.

Problem: Beam to column-web connections (BCW) sometimes require the bolt lines outside of the web space and beyond the flange lines. With double angles, the beam web must fit between the two angles, which becomes a fit-up and erection problem. Sin...

Weld group only calculates fillet welds. Seems like a simple addition to check partial penetration groove, flare bevel, and other welds.

Add tapered beam and column design for design and/or evaluation of Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings. The MBMA design procedures would need to be added to RAM Elements.

Add a Tapered Column and Beam design options to all of RAM SS modules

Add a feature to allow the mass from elements to be associated with other multiple diaphragms on the same level.

It is especially needed for copped beams to the web of W columns connections with extended end plates.
