Trim flange widths for beam to column-web (BCW) connections to create added connection strength.

Problem: Beam to column-web connections (BCW) create dimensional conflicts between beam flange width, and the space between column flanges. This often occurs when the bolt lines project and beam flange lines project inside of the web space and wit...

Flexibility in modifying the tributary height for Wind Load exposure for buildings with varying levels of diaphragms

RAM wind load currently gets applied taking the trib height as half the difference between the two levels. It would be tremendously useful if there was an option to modify the trib height, thereby playing with full height or partial height exposur...
