Incorporate Crack width checks for Spread or combined footing in Foundation design module. It helps users to check the design of footing in aspects rather to go outside the program and check the things.

I have recently been requested to design a nonstandard profile splice joint. The profile consisted of double-up 200PFC. Unfortunately, RAM does not have this option. I had to take this task to the FEA and spend long time analysing connection. This...

The shear wall module bar template is limited to 3 curtains. Please increase to 5 or more.

In RAM Elements, under the "View" menu, there is a "Nodal displacement" option that can be toggled to see how much displacement exists at a particular node (for example, it could display "Ty = 1.00 [in]"). Currently, depending on what font is used...

There seems to be a small number of modules that actually use the "opposite beam exists" checkbox, however most don't seem to be impacted by it. For connections that don't use it, the option should either be removed, or the module should be update...

A great feature would be if the user were able to select via checkboxes which parameters in the joint were included in the optimization or redesign feature. For example, for a shear connection, if I wanted to keep (5) 3/4" bolts, but I wanted the ...

I have a suggestion/idea. Why can't the program allow the user to open multiple windows in RAM SS? It helps the user to understand more in a better way. As a beginner users will make mistakes or errors and it will make it easy for them to understa...

Setting the rigid end zone to 0% reduction consistent with the panel zone element assignment causes RAM to use the first set of equations for panel zone shear capacity (panel-zone deformation effect on stability ignored). I think the user to speci...
