The ability to split members (beams and walls) in Modeler would be very helpful, rather than delete and reenter

I would like the column connection eccentricity use the actual column geometry to consider whether the centerline of the beam strikes the web or the flange of the column. Currently, RAM allows you to specify an angle to "split" the reaction, but t...

The ability to flag a member as a wind girt so wind loading is applied to the member if a diaphragm is not present.

Given the apparent impasse on acquiring licenses to FloorVibe, and the number of hurdles in the way of using FloorVibe, it seems that integrating this analysis directly within RAM SS would be beneficial. For a long time this was a selling point of...

We design many buildings that include a combination of materials. Integrating masonry material properties by default and adding design for masonry would be useful, similar to Risa.

Analyze and design ramps that joins different levels in a structure, as the ones you find in parking structures, for both, concrete and steel.

I'm working on reducing the embodied carbon of a project of mine, and I'm having to compare column systems, between WF columns and HSS. WF columns have significantly lower embodied carbon (~60% reductions when using the same weight of steel), so I...

There is a pretty nice procedure for importing geometry from RAM SS to RAM Concept for two-way slab design and vise versa to capture the two-way slab properties in RAM SS. But this is really only idealized for when there is only a two-way podium a...

As far as I am aware, RSS does not track the load transfer when a wall is sitting on a one-way deck without a supporting beam or wall directly below. The loads from the wall above the deck is "lost". My firm does a lot of multi-family construction...

I would love to see expanded snow loading capabilities that let you apply different load distributions that are enveloped for design. Specifically for gable roof structures, ASCE 7 requires that you apply a "balanced" load (uniform across the whol...
