Right now, all RAM Connection designs involving welding two sides of a connector piece to the Girder Beam. I know there are attachments where you can weld a WT for example on one side of the beam, but on the girder beam, RAM Connections still spec...

There seems to be a fundamental problem with lateral drift for wind in RAM Frame. Currently, accounting for lateral drift in accordance with ASCE 7, Appendix CC "Serviceability Considerations" requires some juggling. To follow this procedure, one ...

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...

This feature will save the user runtime by not analysis the model again and again after it is closed once your working hours are done and next day engineer can pick it up from the same page where he left without re analysis the model, sometimes th...

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.

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...

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.

Currently for beam to column connections, if the beam is HSS then the column must also be HSS. This is very limiting. It would be nice to allow HSS beam to WF column connections. The forces are often shear, moment & torsion. It would be great ...

Enhancement submitted on behalf of Taye Ojo, from Jacobs Engineering Group. CS0222072 – PBI PRODUCT BACKLOG ITEM 1509265: Is there a way to include in the stresses that are compared vs 0.2F´c for the check of section 18.10.6.3.

Sometimes I have two models and would like to combine them.Unfortunately the OpenRE format does not include steel design properties. I would like to either add Steel design properties to the OpenRE file and/OR add an option to import directly from...
