Lifting Lug & Cap Plate Connection Design Within Ram / Staad

Lifting lugs and cap plates are always needed for modular design which is done within Staad + Ram Connection...these are standard type of connections and their design should be accommodated within the programs vs having to use other programs to do...

ASCE 7 Minimum Wind Load Application

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...

Ease of Modelling Structure

Hi Karl, I hope this message finds you well. May I suggest adding a feature in RAM Concept where the structure can be modelled/imported based on AutoCAD layers, so if I select polyline from acad in Concept and ask it to import it as a slab and lik...

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?

Introduce staged PT stressing functionality to RAM Concept

It will be helpful for RAM Concept to allow the engineer to specify at what stage the PT slab or beam will be stressed, in a similar mechanism to what RAPT allows. It would also be helpful for RAM Concept to warn the user when Clause 8.1.6.2 is no...

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...

DataAccess for Nodal Loads

We need a way to access and edit nodal loads through data access. It is painful having to manually define and assign all the point loads through the modeler elevation view. Could we at least assign them in frame? Instead of assigning point loads t...

Point Loads on Areas

Ability to add point loads or line loads to areas. Areas would then distribute the loads to the supporting members based on the direction of the area.
