To request the integration of the AIJ(Architectural Institue of Japan) design standards into RAM Connection to support connection design compliant with Japanese building code requirements. Other Bentley products are also being used in Japan. Integ...

I believe it would be beneficial to incorporate stiffeners into skewed angled shear connections to enhance their strength and stability. Implementing this adjustment could improve performance and overall structural integrity.

I am currently designing a horizontal column-beam-brace connection where one beam is a W12 section and the other is a W8 section. I would like to design the gusset plate using a bolted flange connection. However, I have noticed that the software c...

Double back-to-back channels are typical for design of walers. Adding double channel section for beam splice connection with end plates would allow for this type of connection to be modeled.

Currently, there are relatively few stiffening rib arrangements that can be selected in RAM. There is currently no way to customize the arrangement of stiffening ribs in the software. This brings inconvenience to project execution. It is hoped tha...

I had a connection that required a shear connection framing from one beam, a moment connection from another beam and a horizontal brace from another beam all at one column. The detailer needed a combined detail merged as one. As another example, w...

Problem: Beam to column-web connections (BCW) sometimes require the bolt lines outside of the web space and beyond the flange lines. With double angles, the beam web must fit between the two angles, which becomes a fit-up and erection problem. Sin...

much more stiffener plate type required for column baseplate joint calculation in RAM connection。

a. Integration with Revit (similar to RAM Structural System, see above). b. Integration with Hilti, Simpson, or Dewalt for base plate design modules (see RAM Elements above). c. Adding in the ability to design non-standard steel connections woul...
