RAM Structural System

Concrete Column Slenderness Check to ACI 318

When the bottom of the Column is a foundation and user elects to use Col forces from RAM Concept whereby no Concept forces/moments and therefore RSS will use RAM Conc Analysis(for Col bottom forces and those moments are always negative), for a lac...

Wall Design - too many redundant design warnings

I don't need multiple design warnings for the same condition. For example, I have an out-of-plane shear strength warning for one of my segments. I have 26 warnings (associated with 26 combinations) for the same condition. The "worst" one listed in...

RAM SS-Option to turn off transverse beams bracing the bottom flange of support member

Similar to RAMS beam, I'd like an option to globally or individually turn off the bottom flange bracing of beams framing into a support member in the Gravity module. This is somewhat taken care of in the lateral frame module, where you can assign ...

Flexibility in modifying the tributary height for Wind Load exposure for buildings with varying levels of diaphragms

RAM wind load currently gets applied taking the trib height as half the difference between the two levels. It would be tremendously useful if there was an option to modify the trib height, thereby playing with full height or partial height exposur...

Ability to move end points of Line Load

Similar to having handles on area loads, the ability to graphically move line (and point) loads would be really really helpful.

Numerous Suggestions

allow for snow and roof live loads in the same model more intuitiveness in the software to resolve small dimensional differences remove modules and allow layout and analysis to be performed in the same space create a better GUI interface for addin...

Wheel zoom should zoom into the spot that the cursor is at on the screen.

When using the mouse wheel to zoom in or out, the screen should zoom in where the cursor is. RAM is the only software I have ever used that zooms in and out to a random, arbitrary, undefined point and it is very difficult to zoom in close to objec...

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...
