It would be very appropriate to include equations for demand/capacities in the report for things like sliding resistance, moment, shear, etc. For example, for sliding resistance, the passive equation, the cohesion equation, and the coefficient of ...

Highlight the slab, column, walls and other items based on the thickness, grade of concrete, orientation and other properties to easily identify and amend the model.

It would be excellent if the RAM Connection program had the option to export to Excel the report of the input data and results of the connection design.

When assessing a transfer floor, applying (and updating) transfer loads can be a time consuming process. A feature to export reactions from the floor(s) above and import to the transfer floor model as imposed loads would save time and errors. Pref...

Adding an axial design check for beams or collectors to a braced frame lateral frame system. In particularly for rigid diaphragms these forces are not applied to horizontal members and require separate hand checks or analysis in another program. T...

IS Hot Rolled Beam Section with Hollow Column Connections

It's now 2024, many if not all of the requests in this forum have been open requests for YEARS and in some cases over a DECADE. Why is this program not being updated other than for new code requirements? Wind uplift still has not been implemented ...

One of the first options is to have more connection options that reflect real-world cases of beams to tubular columns. Currently, there are very few options for these connections, and the existing ones are not very useful. It would be beneficial t...

As users of the RAM software and a company in the structural engineering sector, we would like to inform you that, to complement the service provided, we believe it is relevant to incorporate the following aspect into the results analysis. For the...

The Concrete Beam Design module and the Concrete Column Design modules are not fully integrated with Elements with round-trip functionality. You can export geometry, loads, and selected design parameters from an Elements model to these modules, pe...
