Wind Uplift in RAM Frame

Add wind uplift load cases to RAM Frame.
over 3 years ago in RAM Structural System 1 Future consideration

DataAccess for Nodal Loads

We need a way to access and edit nodal loads through data access. It is painful having to manually define and assign all the point loads through the modeler elevation view. Could we at least assign them in frame? Instead of assigning point loads t...

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.

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...

SJI Design Code or Custom Design Codes

Currently, RAM can design "Joists" but doesn't specifically design the members of the joist. As a joist designer, we would love to be able to design the sections of a joist per SJI (Double angles, webs, etc) This can be implemented by Bentley, or ...

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?

As,mn for Beam per 9.6.1.3

It looks like RAM concept design minimum beam reinforcements per 9.6.1.1 & 2., this section provides minimum reinforcement greater of 3Sqrt(fc)/fy*b*d and 200/fy*bd. However, per 9.6.1.3 If As provided at every section is at least one-third gr...

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 Gustavo
