RAM concrete ignores out-of-plane shear stress less than 0.000050 ksi. Allow us to increase this threshold or ignore it entirely. I'm still getting walls flagged for 0.2 kips of out-of-plane shear in a 10' wide by 26" thick wall.
Below is a list of thoughts about lateral point(nodal)/line loads. Incorporating any of the below ideas would be helpful. 1. Allow the user to apply lateral line loads as well as lateral point(nodal) loads. 2. Allow the user to apply lateral point...
RAM SS- Remove deflection failure report for cambered beams
When the camber of a beam brings the deflection criteria within parameters, the option to turn off flagging them as failed in report would be greatly appreciated.
In a large job with several repetitive floors with cambered beams, there can be hun...
Apply different % composite rules for different members
We generally require a different minimum % composite for beams as opposed to girders. It would be beneficial to apply member specific rules, similar to how different deflection criteria is applied.
Please add an option in RAM Modeler > Layout > Foundations > Mat > Geometry to "Change Polygon". Currently, the only option is to "Modify Coordinates". It would be much faster to have a GUI that lets users snap to grid or construction ...
I am wondering if there has been any progress on implementing 50% unbalanced snow loads for cantilevers. In a forum post from 2020, Seth Guthrie said that it was on the backlog ( https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum...
