RAM Structural System

Updated RAM DataAccess Developer's Guide

The most recent developer's guide is from 2017, so I was wondering if we could get an updated document? I know that at the very least joist stuff has been added since then. And along those lines, I'd love to be able to pull joist self-weight direc...

Reports for meshed shear wall reactions

Currently you can only export the end reactions to a report. It would be beneficial to be able to export the reactions at ever node (specifically to a text file) a long the wall for foundation design.

Apply wind loads tributary to "ground"

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.

Make selection tolerance for column larger

I'm completing a column design in RAM Structural System and need to update a number of columns. However, it seems like the clickable area for a column to select it is incredibly small. I have to try to select the column multiple times (which takes...

Allow construction grids to be converted to primary grids or provide new primary grid tools

Pretty self explanatory. Allow the user to convert a construction grid to a primary gird element. Grids are constantly changing throughout the design process due to requirements for columns to shift/etc. The tools for modifying primary grid system...

Updating Cracked Factors in Ram Modeler should not delete wall design groups/section cuts/rebar assignments in RAM Concrete Wall

Currently, if the user sets up wall designs in Ram Concrete Wall, updating the cracked factor in RAM Modeler deletes all Concrete Wall groups/section cuts/rebar assignments/etc stating that "the geometry of the wall was updated." This gets extreme...

RAM SS- Remove deflection failure report for cambered beams

When the camber of a beam brings the deflection criteria within parameters, the option to turn off flagging them as failed in report would be greatly appreciated. In a large job with several repetitive floors with cambered beams, there can be hun...

Apply different % composite rules for different members

We generally require a different minimum % composite for beams as opposed to girders. It would be beneficial to apply member specific rules, similar to how different deflection criteria is applied.
