Wind Uplift in RAM Frame

Add wind uplift load cases to RAM Frame.

Wind Surface Loads Bypassing Interior diaphragms

It is my understanding that wind loads in RAM Frame are distributed vertically between each diaphragm. However, I have a multistory structure that is encased with a curtain wall between the ground floor and roof that distributes wind load vertical...

use ram frame to apply wind loads to non-diaphragm members

The ability to flag a member as a wind girt so wind loading is applied to the member if a diaphragm is not present.

Slave Nodes or Manual Rigid Links in RAM SS

When modeling braced frames on structures with sloping roofs, you are forced to model the diaphragm at one level without slope for proper lateral load application; this causes the brace geometry to be wrong. It would be nice to be able to model th...

Slab Penetration Layout - Adjustable View Box

In RAM Modeler, the Layout>Slab>Slab Penetration Layout dialog box is not adjustable - it would be beneficial to be able to make this view different sizes when you work on a project with a large amount of slab penetrations. For example the a...

SELECTING AN END POINT FOR BEAM EXTENSION CANTILEVER

There is only an option of inserting cantilever length or provide X or Y intercept for beam extension. It would be useful to have an option of selecting an end point like stubs.

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.

RAMSS - Specify Joist Self Weights

Joist self weights are not included in the analysis by default due to varying manufacturer SWs, but you could allow us to specify a self weight in the beam module under the criteria/joists menu.

RAM Structural System - Ability to apply RAM Concept custom template to Concept module in RSS

When using the RAM Concept module within RAM Structural System, the program forces you to use the default layers and settings in RAM Concept. However, if you have a heavily customized template for Concept, there's no way to apply it to the level e...

RAM SS-Option to turn off transverse beams bracing the bottom flange of support member

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 ...
