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...

RAM SS- Axial Design Check for Braced Frame/Collector Beams

Adding an axial design check for beams or collectors to a braced frame lateral frame system. In particularly for rigid diaphragms these forces are not applied to horizontal members and require separate hand checks or analysis in another program. T...

RAM needs to calculate embodied carbon!

We are increasingly being asked to assess options on the basis of carbon intensity. It would save many engineers lots of time if RAM SS & RAM Concept had the capability of calculating embodied carbon. It is a very simple addition - it could be...

RAM Multiple Load Cases/Combinations in Gravity Beams/Columns Module

There should be options for checking gravity beams/columns for multiple load combinations. Having to select whether snow or live loads are to be used is a bit 1980's era softwaresk. Additionally, it would be beneficial to be allowed to apply wind ...

RAM Connection/RAM SS brace angle override

It would be nice if the integrated RAM Connection would allow a permanent override of brace angle on CBB and CVR connections. RAM SS designs to an analytical line at the top of the beams, and we design braced frame connections to the centerline. t...

RAM Concrete shearwall - Issues with nominal capacity after reinforcement change - RAM SS 17.01.01.05

I am encountering an issue where the nominal values and the resulting interaction ratios are suddenly changing within the concrete shearwall design window. To get to where I am having the issues, the model is being built, loaded, and analyzed with...

RAM Concept - Define a default template and save other default settings

When creating a new model in RAM Concept, it would be useful to have the ability to specify a default template file that all new models are built off of. This would make it easier for users within an organization to follow the same standards when ...

Output Summed Reactions at Tilt-up Wall Joints

RAM does not currently have a direct way to get the combined reaction from two tilt-up wall panels at a joint with a gap assignment. This makes it labor-intensive to design deep foundation elements such as piers/caissons which are commonly used at...

Option to include lateral triangular loads (earth pressure) on Wall at RSS

The idea is to have the option to include lateral loads on walls at RAM Structural system. There are a lot of projects with underground floors (garage) that have concrete walls to retain the earth around it Gustavo

OPTION TO ADD CUSTOM OR "OTHER" LOAD CASE FOR GRAVITY LOADS

There is currently no option so specify an "Other" load case when adding gravity loads in Modeler through PropTable - just Dead and Live - even though it is possible to assign a nodal load to an "Other" Load Type when in Modeler elevation view. RA...
