It will be nice to have aluminium materials in the design options; this will help those of us who frequently check aluminium member capacity; STAAD may have this; but we need this in Elements. These will make Elements complete program.

We design many buildings that include a combination of materials. Integrating masonry material properties by default and adding design for masonry would be useful, similar to Risa.

It becomes difficult when there is no template that can apply to joint for connection design. For instance, I have I-section column and hollow rectangular section beam. There is no template that can design such kind of joint.

Could we get the option for other than rectangular openings in shells? Round openings in particular would be very helpful, especially in an FEA program where sharp corners create large stress concentrations that may not even be present when many o...

When viewing wall stresses in RAM Frame, I would like the ability to set the lower bound above 0. This allows me to set a pass/fail stress test. For example, if I’m interested in 0.163 ksi (which I am), I want to set the upper AND lower bound to 0...

Hi Karl, I hope this message finds you well, can we have an option to see the wall reaction in kN/m instead of just kN?

As far as I am aware, RSS does not track the load transfer when a wall is sitting on a one-way deck without a supporting beam or wall directly below. The loads from the wall above the deck is "lost". My firm does a lot of multi-family construction...

Please Incorporate the Splice Connections consider the seismic provisions from AISC 341-10 codes in RAM connection software. This will be very useful for High seismic zone.

Implementation of ACI 318-14 code in concrete design for anchor design in Ram connection (In Design of Base Plate) due to client However, the software tool supports only for the code ACI 318-08 , ACI 318-11 and ACI 318-19 . Need STAAD Version whic...

Add Fixed end beams to the gravity beams for design.
