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.

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...

It would be very useful to be able to input width and/or length of base plate dimensions. If width is input, length would be optimized or if length is input, width would be optimized, or if both dimensions were input it would do code checks based ...

Add the ability to explicitly define the flange bracing points or unbraced length for beam top and bottom flanges. Currently the program options are limited to only specify whether or not the deck provides flange bracing, but for structures withou...

Especially if a model is very large, I usually start the analysis or design and go to another program while it runs. I would be great if the application icon would flash or some kind of very subtle alert when the program is done running or has fai...

Change RAM SS from a “matrix softening” analysis to a Finite Element (FEM) analysis app.
