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...

In base plate for shear check of anchor bolts, the resultant shear Vua is calculated using Vuad and Vuat. But RAM Connection report nowhere defines the derivation of Vuad and Vuat. This shall be clearly defined in the calculation showing Vuad is T...

Currently it appears the only options for a flange moment connection plate to the web of a column is for a tapered plate. An option for coped and full depth plates should be included, similar Risa (see attached). I am reinforcing a building becaus...

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?

Please add the ability to model and design wood beams in Ram SS. We design many structures that are a combination of wood, concrete and steel, and including design of wood members would not be difficult to incorporate. It would help RAM catch up w...

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

The ability to split members (beams and walls) in Modeler would be very helpful, rather than delete and reenter

Enhancement submitted on behalf of Jim Kapuranis. CS0251365 - PBI PRODUCT BACKLOG ITEM 568178: In RAM CONNECTION column cap plate connection is available. But if the beam is inclined with horizontal then this connection cannot be done. Can we inco...

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...

The ability to flag a member as a wind girt so wind loading is applied to the member if a diaphragm is not present.
