Include equations and references for demands/capacities for things like sliding resistance, etc, in Ram Elements footing module, similar to Ram Connection.

It would be very appropriate to include equations for demand/capacities in the report for things like sliding resistance, moment, shear, etc. For example, for sliding resistance, the passive equation, the cohesion equation, and the coefficient of ...

Steel frame vibration check based on finite element analysis

RAM Steel does the vibration check based on FloorVibe. However, with complex geometry finite element basis on design guide 11 is required to check vibrations. Other programs like ETABS, Robot Autodesk or Tekla does these calculations. Please have...

Rotational Stiffness Only when in Compression

I would like to be able to model nonsymmetrical systems where baseplates are considered as pinned when in uplift and semi-rigid when in compression.This works well for symmetrical systems, but when the system is non-symmetrical, I have to make two...

Aluminium Design Features

It will be nice to have aluminium materials in the design options; this will help those of us who frequently check aluminium member capacity; STAAD may have this; but we need this in Elements. These will make Elements complete program.

Steel Member Web Openings

The ability to add steel beam web openings would be very helpful. SBeam is the only way to do that now, but it requires pulling loads out of Elements, instead of being integrated into the main program or even the steel beam module.
