I checked with Bentley support team for design of Concrete column in RAM Elelments. As i can see the design can be performed in two different ways.
Output - Output - Design – Reinforced concrete – Members Concrete column module. But the Bentley team suggested checking the column design under the concrete column module. In this way, only the program gives detailed design reports. But it looks ...
Triangular area load on shell elements and stiffness reduction.
There is no feature to apply triangular soil pressure or snow drift on shell elements that exist in other programs. I like this feature to be added to RAM Elements. Also, please add a feature to reduce in plane and out of plate stiffness of shell ...
Provide means for seeing detailed calculations when summary calculations are not sufficient for circumstances
Many times during troubleshooting operations it would be extremely helpful in being able to see how Elements is calculating stress, etc. It would be a great enhancement to have the option to view and print the detailed calculations rather than jus...
It would be great to have the ability to save shapes to the file instead of locally. It can be difficult to keep track of custom shapes used on past projects.
Lateral loads on openings can only be distributed to the sides (X direction) which is appropriate for opening width less than the height. Many openings are linear with the width greater than the height. Can an option be added to distribute loads i...
Hacer mas tipos de columnas de concreto armado o reforzado, tipo ele, cee, tee.
CON SUS DISEÑO DE ACEROS Y ESTRIBOS, SUS DIAGRAMAS DE INTERACCION. A COMO LO HACE PARA COLUMNAS CUADRADAS,RECTANGUALES CIRCULARES O REDONDAS. FAVOR REVISAR LA PARTE DEL DIAGRAMA DE INTERACCION, NO DA LO ESFURZOS EN LA SECCION, DA UN ERROR.
a. Integration with RAM Concept (see above).b. Integration with Revit (similar to RAM Structural System, see above).c. Integrated base plate design through RAM Connection or directly within RAM Elements to Hilti, Simpson, or Dewalt design programs...
Incorporate Crack width checks for Spread or combined footing in Foundation design module.
Incorporate Crack width checks for Spread or combined footing in Foundation design module. It helps users to check the design of footing in aspects rather to go outside the program and check the things.
Especially if a model is very large, I usually start the analysis or design and go to another program while it runs. I would be great if the application icon would flash or some kind of very subtle alert when the program is done running or has fai...
