Generation of Wind Load for non-regular building shapes (e.g., C, L, and U shaped floor plates)
We don't see many rectangular structures these days. Would be great if RAM Frame could generate wind loads for non-regular building shapes (e.g., "C", "L", & "U" shaped floor plates). This would be a time-saver having not to hand calculate and...
Import DWG drawings to be used as a reference layout in RSS, similar to what you do in Ram Concept.
When you are defining a floor in RSS, it would be very useful to be able to import drawings in DWG formats to be used as a template or reference file to define the floor data. You can do this in Ram Concept.; why not in RSS?
Option to include lateral triangular loads (earth pressure) on Wall at RSS
The idea is to have the option to include lateral loads on walls at RAM Structural system.
There are a lot of projects with underground floors (garage) that have concrete walls to retain the earth around it

Please add the ability to model and design wood beams in Ram SS. We design many structures that are a combination of wood, concrete and steel, and including design of wood members would not be difficult to incorporate. It would help RAM catch up w...
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.
ASCE 7 (10, 16, and 22 versions) section 27.1.5 specifies a minimum wind load on the entire building projected area (see commentary). This should be applied as a separate load case. RAM Frame treats this as individual floors shall not receive less...
