Given the apparent impasse on acquiring licenses to FloorVibe, and the number of hurdles in the way of using FloorVibe, it seems that integrating this analysis directly within RAM SS would be beneficial. For a long time this was a selling point of...
It seems very dangerous that RAM will allow you to put loads in for a connection that the program will ignore for design. The ability to put the loads in should be restricted or a warning should be added if RAM ignores loads.
Dual-Sided Horizontal Brace Boomerang Connections - HBBB - two and four brace type connections
When configuring horizontal brace "boomerang" connections with gusset plates bolted to support members, braces often exist on both sides of the support member. RAM Connection provides specific joint types to model these dual-sided configurations. ...
Lifting Lug & Cap Plate Connection Design Within Ram / Staad
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...

Future consideration
Hi Karl, Can we please get an option to cut a slab section and see the associated tendon and reinforcement in that area and can manipulate the PT, this is similar to what we do in RAPT. kind regards, A.Garg
In the Masonry Wall Module, add an option in the diagrams tab for a graph of reactions on the base of each strip of wall segment. I often need to check an existing wall footing under an existing wall with a new opening in the wall. When a new open...
Allow for only (2) stations to be selected for maximum and minimum force envelope
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.
