It will be nice to have aluminium materials in the design options; this will help those of us who frequently check aluminium member capacity; STAAD may have this; but we need this in Elements. These will make Elements complete program.

Could we get the option for other than rectangular openings in shells? Round openings in particular would be very helpful, especially in an FEA program where sharp corners create large stress concentrations that may not even be present when many o...

Provide a features similar to RAM SS for the auto application of Lateral loads within RAM Elements

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 ...

See attached files.

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...

Enhancement submitted on behalf of John Gruber. CS0134441 - PBI PRODUCT BACKLOG ITEM 1526907: NDS Cr values for assemblies. My member I was analyzing is 4-2x12. Therefore, there are four 2” nominal thickness members and are more than three members...

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.

Provide triangular bearing pressure results in either the report or on the diagrams page. Provide triangular load distribution in the Home page for earth pressure lateral loads.

Provide a better, cleaner translation when importing a RAM SS model into RAM Elements. The Centerline layout in RAM SS is difficult to work with in RAM Elements.
