RAM connection is not having an option to design the thru bolt connection - baseplate is connected to the concrete with thru bolt. Instead of post anchor and preinstalled anchors, sometimes it is needed to use thru bolt connection. Please find the...

Implementation of ACI 318-14 code in concrete design for anchor design in Ram connection (In Design of Base Plate) due to client However, the software tool supports only for the code ACI 318-08 , ACI 318-11 and ACI 318-19 . Need STAAD Version whic...

It could be useful for companies like Spray Engineering, Cheema Boilers etc. Composite Connections are also in demand.

I have few members of a structure frame that were oriented 90 degree using Beta Angle. However, this applied Beta Angle no more works in RAM connection when I try to design a connection in STAAD RAM connection.

ram standalone has reports, etc updated yet that is not available within Ram when you work directly within staad...why not? Current report formatting for Ram is awful

Lifting lugs and cap plates are always needed for modular design which is done within Staad + Ram Connection...these are standard type of connections and their design should be accommodated within the programs vs having to use other programs to do...

For bolted flange plate beam-to-girder configurations, RAM currently uses a bolted flange plate only at the top flange, and shows a CJP weld for the bottom flange to girder web. We often will use flange plates at BOTH beam flanges. It would be gre...

We often use directly-welded moment connections, with beam flanges that are full-pen welded to the supporting member. RAM Connection can do that for beam-to-column connections, but it would be great if you could add that connection for beam-to-gir...

This provision is useful in PEB buildings where all structural members are formed by using built-up plates. By using this option, we can avoid supplementary web plates uses in connections.
