Inclusion of AIJ(Japanese Design Code) in RAM Connection
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...
Import DWG drawings to be used as a reference layout in RSS, similar to what you do in Ram Concept.
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?
Generation of Wind Load for non-regular building shapes (e.g., C, L, and U shaped floor plates)
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...
Option to include lateral triangular loads (earth pressure) on Wall at RSS
The idea is to have the option to include lateral loads on walls at RAM Structural system.
There are a lot of projects with underground floors (garage) that have concrete walls to retain the earth around it

I am designing a horizontal column-beam-brace connection where one beam is a W12 section and the other is a W8 section. Due to field conditions, I cannot adjust the beam elevations to align at the column. Given this, we should be able to modify th...
Currently for beam to column connections, if the beam is HSS then the column must also be HSS. This is very limiting. It would be nice to allow HSS beam to WF column connections. The forces are often shear, moment & torsion. It would be great ...
The ability to add steel beam web openings would be very helpful. SBeam is the only way to do that now, but it requires pulling loads out of Elements, instead of being integrated into the main program or even the steel beam module.
