The HELP graphic showing the axes for loads and moments needs improvement. The graphic at the connection pad shows the orientation for the loads and moments on the Weld Group. The graphic depiction of the arcs for the moments needs improvement to ...

Section 2204.3 of the 2022 California Building Code requires anchor-bolt bending to be considered for shear transfer with a base-plate with oversized holes. Please add this check / design to Ram Connection.

We should have the ability to see at least what limit state or element of the connection is failing without having to open the results output, which is very slow and time-consuming. If we were provided a small list of elements/limit states, we cou...

To request the integration of the AIJ(Architectural Institue of Japan) design standards into RAM Connection to support connection design compliant with Japanese building code requirements. Other Bentley products are also being used in Japan. Integ...

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...

I believe it would be beneficial to incorporate stiffeners into skewed angled shear connections to enhance their strength and stability. Implementing this adjustment could improve performance and overall structural integrity.

I am currently designing a horizontal column-beam-brace connection where one beam is a W12 section and the other is a W8 section. I would like to design the gusset plate using a bolted flange connection. However, I have noticed that the software c...

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...

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