Allow for an option for oversized holes with weld washers per DG1

Design Guide 1 allows for the use of oversized holes with washers that are welded (or not welded) for installation purposes. It would be nice to be able to have an option that would you could select that would include geometric checks.

Allow user to see controlling limit state without opening the detailed report.

We should have the ability to see at least what limit state or element of the connection is failing without having to open the results output, which is very slow and time-consuming. If we were provided a small list of elements/limit states, we cou...

Merge multiple connections which happen at one joint

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...

Add directly-welded moment connections for beam-to-girder configurations.

We often use directly-welded moment connections, with beam flanges that are full-pen welded to the supporting member. RAM Connection can do that for beam-to-column connections, but it would be great if you could add that connection for beam-to-gir...

time history analysis and steady state analysis

please add these two capabilities as structures are becoming more complex and dyamic analysis in time history or steady state are useful to study parameter like impact or vibration. I think STAAD has these features but I want this in RAM element too.

Unbalanced Snow Loads on Cantilevers

I am wondering if there has been any progress on implementing 50% unbalanced snow loads for cantilevers. In a forum post from 2020, Seth Guthrie said that it was on the backlog ( https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum...
