Retaining Wall Module - Add Wall-soil friction angle for passive soils

It has come to my attention that the program is using the Foundation base-soil friction coefficient to compute the passive pressure resistance when using Columb (it's using this to back calculate "delta"). To be frank, this is just wrong IMO. The ...

Separate Analysis per load

Many times I will change one load, for example a seismic load which is palced at the Ridge. Then I have to reanalyze and redesign the entire model, every load case. There should be a way to analyze only the affected load cases and redesign only th...

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...

time history analysis and steady state analysis

please add these two capabilities as structures are becoming more complex and dyamic analysis in time history or steady state are useful to study parameter like impact or vibration. I think STAAD has these features but I want this in RAM element too.

Edit section properties without modifying its measurements

To model masonry walls using the wide column method, it is necessary to place properties of the transformed section, hence the need to be able to edit the properties of the section without having to change its measurements.
