Sort/Multi Select Load Cases for Analysis in RAM Frame

Enable Sorting and Multi Selection in the RAM Frame Load Case analyze dialogue. We frequently have to run multiple rounds of testing or when doing AISC Direct Analysis Validation create multiple types of wind and seismic loads. Having to scroll th...

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...

RAM Connection/RAM SS brace angle override

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...

Continuous Footing - Option to not consider perpendicular footings

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.

Rotational Stiffness Only when in Compression

I would like to be able to model nonsymmetrical systems where baseplates are considered as pinned when in uplift and semi-rigid when in compression.This works well for symmetrical systems, but when the system is non-symmetrical, I have to make two...

Please don't make me click OK for every inadequate column when generating the column design report.

When generating the column design report, please don't make me click OK for every inadequate column. A summary of all inadequate columns or no warning at all would be sufficient.

Only show column size tag once if column is continuous floor-to-floor.

In SColumn 3D view, viewing the column sizes shows labels at each floor. The labels often overlap (especially at HSS columns) and it is difficult to see. Recommend only showing the size tag once if the column is not spliced. Other parameters (Lb, ...

Inclusion of AIJ(Japanese Design Code) in RAM Connection

To request the integration of the AIJ(Architectural Institue of Japan) design standards into RAM Connection to support connection design compliant with Japanese building code requirements. Other Bentley products are also being used in Japan. Integ...

Add welds other than Fillet Welds to weld group options in RAM Connection

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

Assign HSS Column Series

In the Column module, you should be able to assign HSS Column series to be checked (such as HSS5X5, HSS6x6, HSS7x7) similar to how you can assign a specific Wx column series to be checked.
