When outputting the 'Force Envelope at Stations' and attempting to select 2 stations, a pop occurs saying that a minimum of 3 stations are required. The ability to show only 0% and 100%, the end reactions would be immensely helpful.

please add a feature to model and design circular or curved beams.

In latest version of RAM connection cap plate design is available as moment only, there is no provision for pinned type cap plate design (bolts inside column flange.). We need to provide pinned type cap plate connection as per project requirement....

The welded shear plate connection is the most common connection in renovation jobs where existing steel is shored, cut, and reconnected to new steel, which could be a beam or column. For beam to girder, shear plate is usually extended to clear the...

Lifting lugs and cap plates are always needed for modular design which is done within Staad + Ram Connection...these are standard type of connections and their design should be accommodated within the programs vs having to use other programs to do...

It looks like RAM concept design minimum beam reinforcements per 9.6.1.1 & 2., this section provides minimum reinforcement greater of 3Sqrt(fc)/fy*b*d and 200/fy*bd. However, per 9.6.1.3 If As provided at every section is at least one-third gr...

For extended shear tabs with the shape of the Fig. 10-19c of the AISC Construction Manual, the check for the thickness is missing in the report. Ref Feature (PBI) #1568164

Analyze and design ramps that joins different levels in a structure, as the ones you find in parking structures, for both, concrete and steel.

Ability to add point loads or line loads to areas. Areas would then distribute the loads to the supporting members based on the direction of the area.

The ability to add steel beam web openings would be very helpful. SBeam is the only way to do that now, but it requires pulling loads out of Elements, instead of being integrated into the main program or even the steel beam module.
