One of the first options is to have more connection options that reflect real-world cases of beams to tubular columns. Currently, there are very few options for these connections, and the existing ones are not very useful. It would be beneficial t...

In base plate for shear check of anchor bolts, the resultant shear Vua is calculated using Vuad and Vuat. But RAM Connection report nowhere defines the derivation of Vuad and Vuat. This shall be clearly defined in the calculation showing Vuad is T...

It's now 2024, many if not all of the requests in this forum have been open requests for YEARS and in some cases over a DECADE. Why is this program not being updated other than for new code requirements? Wind uplift still has not been implemented ...

When a column is moved it only moves on one level which makes you chase down data check errors when columns are misaligned. When column locations change it would be nice to have the option to move it on all levels and not just the one selected.

We request the ability to programmatically access, extract, and utilize the data generated in the Connection Design module of STAAD.Pro Advanced, as well as in RAM Connection, through OpenSTAAD, macros, Python or VBA scripts, or a dedicated API. A...

Please add the ability to generate load combinations and create custom load combinations in RAM Steel Beam and RAM Steel Column for the gravity loads. Updated codes and additional requirements (such as the need to incorporate FM Global datasheets)...

Create a live load reduction factor in the design parameters for each material type. This way the live load is captured in the analysis and reduced accordingly in the design. This might cause an issue with 2nd order analysis if you don't want all ...

For outputs, add the member description, not just the number

Enhancement submitted on behalf of Jim Kapuranis. CS0251365 - PBI PRODUCT BACKLOG ITEM 568178: In RAM CONNECTION column cap plate connection is available. But if the beam is inclined with horizontal then this connection cannot be done. Can we inco...

Ram connection has functions for define stiffener plates or channels on base plate, but in many cases it is required to design base plate with User defined Stiffeners. Users want to control stiffener size and number of stiffeners, also they want t...
