Add rebar class to the API. This will help in developing interoperability plugins between RAM and BIM/CAD software.

Add wind uplift load cases to RAM Frame.

Using the analysis results from FEM and wall end support node reactions of shells, it would be great to have the option to design continuous footings via the foundation module similar to the spread and combined footings design module, or via extra...

There seems to be a fundamental problem with lateral drift for wind in RAM Frame. Currently, accounting for lateral drift in accordance with ASCE 7, Appendix CC "Serviceability Considerations" requires some juggling. To follow this procedure, one ...

It is well documented that all slabs undergo a variety of loading combinations during construction when the concrete has not yet achieved its target design strength. In the UK this is commonly during the second and third weeks, following the slab ...

This provision is useful in PEB buildings where all structural members are formed by using built-up plates. By using this option, we can avoid supplementary web plates uses in connections.

When you are defining a floor in RSS, it would be very useful to be able to import drawings in DWG formats to be used as a template or reference file to define the floor data. You can do this in Ram Concept.; why not in RSS?

We don't see many rectangular structures these days. Would be great if RAM Frame could generate wind loads for non-regular building shapes (e.g., "C", "L", & "U" shaped floor plates). This would be a time-saver having not to hand calculate and...

Ability to add point loads or line loads to areas. Areas would then distribute the loads to the supporting members based on the direction of the area.
