RAM does not currently have a direct way to get the combined reaction from two tilt-up wall panels at a joint with a gap assignment. This makes it labor-intensive to design deep foundation elements such as piers/caissons which are commonly used at...

Add the ability for the user to add custom design notes or comments to a beam or column design in Ram Beam or Ram column.

The lateral braces in RAM currently can only be deleted by going to the elevation view of the lateral frame beam. This is a tedious task, if you are modifying the locations of multiple braces. It would be tremendously useful if the braces can be d...

Ram Connections appears to recalculate everything for an entire connections as soon as a single parameter is changed (e.g., bolt size for left beam, gusset plate thickness for lower left brace, etc.). It would be more productive if Ram Connection ...
