Double back-to-back channels are typical for design of walers. Adding double channel section for beam splice connection with end plates would allow for this type of connection to be modeled.

Currently, there are relatively few stiffening rib arrangements that can be selected in RAM. There is currently no way to customize the arrangement of stiffening ribs in the software. This brings inconvenience to project execution. It is hoped tha...

I had a connection that required a shear connection framing from one beam, a moment connection from another beam and a horizontal brace from another beam all at one column. The detailer needed a combined detail merged as one. As another example, w...

RAM connection is not having an option to design the thru bolt connection - baseplate is connected to the concrete with thru bolt. Instead of post anchor and preinstalled anchors, sometimes it is needed to use thru bolt connection. Please find the...

In the current project I am working on, I need to design steel supports for the pipework. In some cases there are torsional moments and their effects on base plate have to be addressed. At the moment, Base Plate design in RAM Connection does not i...

Problem: Beam to column-web connections (BCW) create dimensional conflicts between beam flange width, and the space between column flanges. This often occurs when the bolt lines project and beam flange lines project inside of the web space and wit...

Problem: Beam to column-web connections (BCW) sometimes require the bolt lines outside of the web space and beyond the flange lines. With double angles, the beam web must fit between the two angles, which becomes a fit-up and erection problem. Sin...

Please consider allowing the use of Parallel flange members as columns in column-column and column-beam connections.

much more stiffener plate type required for column baseplate joint calculation in RAM connection。

a. Integration with Revit (similar to RAM Structural System, see above). b. Integration with Hilti, Simpson, or Dewalt for base plate design modules (see RAM Elements above). c. Adding in the ability to design non-standard steel connections woul...
