Currently, the program seems to only design per NDS provisions for solid-sawn lumber and glulam. It would be beneficial to add the ability to analyze and design LVL, PSL, and other structural composite lumber types. The provisions are very similar...
Edit section properties without modifying its measurements
To model masonry walls using the wide column method, it is necessary to place properties of the transformed section, hence the need to be able to edit the properties of the section without having to change its measurements.
Allow user to see controlling limit state without opening the detailed report.
We should have the ability to see at least what limit state or element of the connection is failing without having to open the results output, which is very slow and time-consuming. If we were provided a small list of elements/limit states, we cou...
Elements needs an analysis overhaul. I have a model with less than 1000 frame members and 200 load combinations. Several cases have imposed displacements and Elements mandates a P-Delta analysis for this situation. It takes 10 minutes to analyze a...
When the bottom of the Column is a foundation and user elects to use Col forces from RAM Concept whereby no Concept forces/moments and therefore RSS will use RAM Conc Analysis(for Col bottom forces and those moments are always negative), for a lac...
The ability to cancel last point when drawing an area load, deck assignment or mat foundation like you can in RAM Concept. It's especially frustrating when drawing a mat foundation and you accidentally click the wrong point and have to start over ...
please add these two capabilities as structures are becoming more complex and dyamic analysis in time history or steady state are useful to study parameter like impact or vibration. I think STAAD has these features but I want this in RAM element too.
It would be great to have the ability to save shapes to the file instead of locally. It can be difficult to keep track of custom shapes used on past projects.
