Ram Connection provides output including "Geometric Considerations". The descriptive labels are incorrect. I suggest that Bentley, Ram Connection make corrections. The Output notes "external" and "internal" flanges. The Help section notes "top" an...

it is being used in piperacks design with cable trays and will be a big help to designers if this will be included in the next version

I have recently been requested to design a nonstandard profile splice joint. The profile consisted of double-up 200PFC. Unfortunately, RAM does not have this option. I had to take this task to the FEA and spend long time analysing connection. This...

There seems to be a small number of modules that actually use the "opposite beam exists" checkbox, however most don't seem to be impacted by it. For connections that don't use it, the option should either be removed, or the module should be update...

A great feature would be if the user were able to select via checkboxes which parameters in the joint were included in the optimization or redesign feature. For example, for a shear connection, if I wanted to keep (5) 3/4" bolts, but I wanted the ...

When beams under high axial load is connected to the web of w columns, doublers may be needed for both the columns and beams at the connection.

It would be nice to have an option for Stainless Materials (304/304L, 316, and 316L mainly), especially bolts. But also include built-up stainless equivalent shapes and stainless weld wire. There is a new AISC Stainless code (AISC 313-21) out that...

There should be a feature in RAM Connection settings where you can go in and define defaults to all the variables for the project and for the program in general. For example, if I am doing a project where I have a series of connections, and I kn...
