Allow Pseudo-Diaphragm Loads to be applied to beam-only frame lines

Currently RAM Frame only applies pseudo-diaphragm loads to beam/column frame lines that include columns and the loads are subdivided based on the column tributary areas, not the beams. However, in many cases, collectors need to be detailed for var...

Shear Wall Design Groups and Reinforcement gets deleted if I change f'c or stiffness modifiers or thicknesses.

Please revise shear wall module to not automatically delete sections cuts, groups, wall reinforcing, etc. when I change f'c, wall stiffness modifiers, or thicknesses.

Slave Nodes or Manual Rigid Links in RAM SS

When modeling braced frames on structures with sloping roofs, you are forced to model the diaphragm at one level without slope for proper lateral load application; this causes the brace geometry to be wrong. It would be nice to be able to model th...

RAM SS-Foundations modeled/adjustments in Foundation Module

It would be a time saver to not require reanalysis of the building for changing/adding a foundation element or their properties, by allowing modeling to be conducted in the foundation module.

Load Case Selection Set Presets In RAM Frame

Please add selection set presets for groups of load cases in the analyze dialogue in RAM Frame. I always have at least groups of load combos for strength and groups for deflection, and sometimes have groups for modal analysis. It would be great to...

Unbalanced Snow Loads on Cantilevers

I am wondering if there has been any progress on implementing 50% unbalanced snow loads for cantilevers. In a forum post from 2020, Seth Guthrie said that it was on the backlog ( https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum...
