Currently, if you select a beam in the Steel Beam Module, select a new size, click Analyze, and then click Update Database, that size is permanently attached to the member (i.e. frozen). However, if you select a beam, click Optimize, and then clic...

The ability to cancel last point when drawing an area load, deck assignment or mat foundation like you can in RAM Concept. It's especially frustrating when drawing a mat foundation and you accidentally click the wrong point and have to start over ...

In the current project I am working on, I need to design steel supports for the pipework. In some cases there are torsional moments and their effects on base plate have to be addressed. At the moment, Base Plate design in RAM Connection does not i...

Provide a better, cleaner translation when importing a RAM SS model into RAM Elements. The Centerline layout in RAM SS is difficult to work with in RAM Elements.

Update clear cover to beams & columns in one go without selecting beams and columns individually multiple times. This task can be cumbersome, and I believe that getting the option to edit multiple column's information is a great idea to introd...

Section 2204.3 of the 2022 California Building Code requires anchor-bolt bending to be considered for shear transfer with a base-plate with oversized holes. Please add this check / design to Ram Connection.

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...

As far as I am aware, RSS does not track the load transfer when a wall is sitting on a one-way deck without a supporting beam or wall directly below. The loads from the wall above the deck is "lost". My firm does a lot of multi-family construction...

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 ...

Lateral loads on openings can only be distributed to the sides (X direction) which is appropriate for opening width less than the height. Many openings are linear with the width greater than the height. Can an option be added to distribute loads i...
