Add tornado wind loads.

Beginning in ASCE 7-22/IBC 2024, structural designs must consider tornado wind loads for essential facilities. The calculation of these loads and the associated load combinations should be added to RSS.

Set Deflection Limits for Members

I know you can view deflections and node displacements, but I think it would be helpful to be able to specify limits and have the program display (in the member status) if any member exceeds the set deflection, or displacement limit assigned to th...

Add in a Colorblind color option

As some one who is colorblind the yellow of the warning design and green of the complete design are similar enough that I can't see them. Others in my office who are color blind have the same issue I have. It would be great if there was a feature ...

Improve Diaphragm Flexibility Evaluation with User-Defined Seismic Mass Source

Modern seismic design codes (such as ASCE 7, Eurocode 8, and Mexico's NTC) require evaluating diaphragm flexibility by comparing the structural response using a rigid diaphragm and a diaphragm modeled with its actual in-plane stiffness. For this c...

AISC Single plate enhancement for BCW plate stiffener thickness checks

For a BCW connection the stiffeners can be provided at top and bottom flange location of beam. But in design no calculation is shown for the same. So the need to to introduce AISC Single plate enhancement for BCW plate stiffener thickness checks. ...

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...
