Please consider allowing the use of Parallel flange members as columns in column-column and column-beam connections.

much more stiffener plate type required for column baseplate joint calculation in RAM connection。

Section 2204.3 of the 2022 California Building Code requires anchor-bolt bending to be considered for shear transfer with a base-plate with oversized holes. Please add this check / design to Ram Connection.

99% of the details I have seen for vertical x-bracing shows one member continuous. I design a lot of connections for a steel fabricator and I am always required to perform a hand calc or 2 ram connection calcs with one being the horizontal X-brace...

a. Integration with Revit (similar to RAM Structural System, see above). b. Integration with Hilti, Simpson, or Dewalt for base plate design modules (see RAM Elements above). c. Adding in the ability to design non-standard steel connections woul...

We should have the ability to see at least what limit state or element of the connection is failing without having to open the results output, which is very slow and time-consuming. If we were provided a small list of elements/limit states, we cou...

Ram Connection provides output including "Geometric Considerations". The descriptive labels are incorrect. I suggest that Bentley, Ram Connection make corrections. The Output notes "external" and "internal" flanges. The Help section notes "top" an...

Currently, there is no way to design a gusset base plate connection if the column base has braces coming into it from 2 different planes. You can't even assign 2 separate connections, one for each plane, like you can at CBB joints.
