There seems to be a fundamental problem with lateral drift for wind in RAM Frame. Currently, accounting for lateral drift in accordance with ASCE 7, Appendix CC "Serviceability Considerations" requires some juggling. To follow this procedure, one ...

Add Fixed end beams to the gravity beams for design.

It is already widely used

It will be nice to have aluminium materials in the design options; this will help those of us who frequently check aluminium member capacity; STAAD may have this; but we need this in Elements. These will make Elements complete program.

Often times I create 3D models of similar frames but they have different tributary widths.For our 2D analysis we apply the loads to the nodes and members and not to areas.When we have to transition to 3D models, it would be great to have the abili...

In Ram concrete columns, there is often an error in the design of the columns which is due to the spacing of shear links whereas it is impossible to change the spacing manually, thus making all the columns design failing due to a shear links spaci...

In the Analysis -> Load Combinations we are able to view a member force envelope for the Max or Min, but not the absolute value for worst case loading. When looking at a braced frame elevation with brace axial loads, in order to determine the a...

It would be extremely useful to be able to create "regions" on a spread footing design with different soil depths.When designing a spread footing/retaining wall combination, there isn't a good single solution at the moment.It would also be nice to...

Enhancement submitted on behalf of Taye Ojo, from Jacobs Engineering Group. CS0222072 – PBI PRODUCT BACKLOG ITEM 1509265: Is there a way to include in the stresses that are compared vs 0.2F´c for the check of section 18.10.6.3.

Currently, there is no way to design a gusset base plate connection if the column base has braces coming into it from 2 different planes. You can't even assign 2 separate connections, one for each plane, like you can at CBB joints.
