Reports for meshed shear wall reactions

Currently you can only export the end reactions to a report. It would be beneficial to be able to export the reactions at ever node (specifically to a text file) a long the wall for foundation design.

Beam Elevation Adjustment on Column

I am designing a horizontal column-beam-brace connection where one beam is a W12 section and the other is a W8 section. Due to field conditions, I cannot adjust the beam elevations to align at the column. Given this, we should be able to modify th...

Retaining Wall Module - Add Wall-soil friction angle for passive soils

It has come to my attention that the program is using the Foundation base-soil friction coefficient to compute the passive pressure resistance when using Columb (it's using this to back calculate "delta"). To be frank, this is just wrong IMO. The ...

Sloped and Tapered beam or slab

Please add modeling features that allow for the sloped beam or slab and tapered beam or slab. These can help in easy modeling for ramps and other structures.

Prestressed Flexural Member Shear Design

It looks like RAM Concept uses an approximate method per Table 22.5.8.2 for calculating Vc and does not use the alternative option Vc per 22.5.8.3. There are cases where the shear capacity per 22.5.8.3 is less than the approximate method Per Tabl...

Allow construction grids to be converted to primary grids or provide new primary grid tools

Pretty self explanatory. Allow the user to convert a construction grid to a primary gird element. Grids are constantly changing throughout the design process due to requirements for columns to shift/etc. The tools for modifying primary grid system...

Check the number of stirrup legs required for beams per ACI 318-19 9.7.6.2.2

In ACI 318-19, they added a maximum spacing between stirrup legs in beams. I think the program bars generated in RAM concept should increase the number of legs to meet this criteria.

Include plan generation when adding Load Combinations with the API

Being able to create custom load combos using the API would be extremely useful if there was an option to specify which plans to generate along with each combo (stress, force, deflection, reactions, soil bearing). Having to create the plans manual...
