I'm working on reducing the embodied carbon of a project of mine, and I'm having to compare column systems, between WF columns and HSS. WF columns have significantly lower embodied carbon (~60% reductions when using the same weight of steel), so I...

There is a pretty nice procedure for importing geometry from RAM SS to RAM Concept for two-way slab design and vise versa to capture the two-way slab properties in RAM SS. But this is really only idealized for when there is only a two-way podium a...

RAM Beam needs to allow zoom with mouse scroll similar to other RAM modules.

Add wind uplift load cases to RAM Frame.

We need a way to access and edit nodal loads through data access. It is painful having to manually define and assign all the point loads through the modeler elevation view. Could we at least assign them in frame? Instead of assigning point loads t...

Beginning in ASCE 7-22/IBC 2024, structural designs must consider tornado wind loads for essential facilities. The calculation of these loads and the associated load combinations should be added to RSS.

Include the self-weight of braces in the dead load.

Please add the ability to model and design wood beams in Ram SS. We design many structures that are a combination of wood, concrete and steel, and including design of wood members would not be difficult to incorporate. It would help RAM catch up w...

ASCE 7 (10, 16, and 22 versions) section 27.1.5 specifies a minimum wind load on the entire building projected area (see commentary). This should be applied as a separate load case. RAM Frame treats this as individual floors shall not receive less...

We design many buildings that include a combination of materials. Integrating masonry material properties by default and adding design for masonry would be useful, similar to Risa.
