Updating Cracked Factors in Ram Modeler should not delete wall design groups/section cuts/rebar assignments in RAM Concrete Wall

Currently, if the user sets up wall designs in Ram Concrete Wall, updating the cracked factor in RAM Modeler deletes all Concrete Wall groups/section cuts/rebar assignments/etc stating that "the geometry of the wall was updated." This gets extreme...

ignore minor out of plane shear stress

RAM concrete ignores out-of-plane shear stress less than 0.000050 ksi. Allow us to increase this threshold or ignore it entirely. I'm still getting walls flagged for 0.2 kips of out-of-plane shear in a 10' wide by 26" thick wall.

RAM SS- Remove deflection failure report for cambered beams

When the camber of a beam brings the deflection criteria within parameters, the option to turn off flagging them as failed in report would be greatly appreciated. In a large job with several repetitive floors with cambered beams, there can be hun...

Apply different % composite rules for different members

We generally require a different minimum % composite for beams as opposed to girders. It would be beneficial to apply member specific rules, similar to how different deflection criteria is applied.

• Does RAM Connection support Box Columns (Double ISMB/ISMC) with strengthening plates for moment-resisting or shear connections? (see attached drawing) • Can RAM Connection be customized for specific load cases, codes, or connection types? · Can RAM Connection design connections for base plates and bracing using Box Columns with strengthening plates?

It could be useful for companies like Spray Engineering, Cheema Boilers etc. Composite Connections are also in demand.

Applied Beta Angle of a member in STAAD model isn't working in RAM connection design

I have few members of a structure frame that were oriented 90 degree using Beta Angle. However, this applied Beta Angle no more works in RAM connection when I try to design a connection in STAAD RAM connection.
