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...
Wind loads tributary to "ground" are not applied even if there are stories below ground. Please add an option to allow the user to apply these currently neglected loads to the structure.
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?
Lifting Lug & Cap Plate Connection Design Within Ram / Staad
Lifting lugs and cap plates are always needed for modular design which is done within Staad + Ram Connection...these are standard type of connections and their design should be accommodated within the programs vs having to use other programs to do...
Introduce staged PT stressing functionality to RAM Concept
It will be helpful for RAM Concept to allow the engineer to specify at what stage the PT slab or beam will be stressed, in a similar mechanism to what RAPT allows. It would also be helpful for RAM Concept to warn the user when Clause 8.1.6.2 is no...

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
