Currently, RAM can design "Joists" but doesn't specifically design the members of the joist. As a joist designer, we would love to be able to design the sections of a joist per SJI (Double angles, webs, etc) This can be implemented by Bentley, or ...

It would be great if we could create stage sequencing where a stage number is assigned to every member. Add the ability to analyze and design separate stages of construction such as anything stage 1 or lessstage 2 or lessstage 3 or less The analyz...

I know you can view deflections and node displacements, but I think it would be helpful to be able to specify limits and have the program display (in the member status) if any member exceeds the set deflection, or displacement limit assigned to th...

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 ...

Enhancement submitted on behalf of John Gruber. CS0134441 - PBI PRODUCT BACKLOG ITEM 1526907: NDS Cr values for assemblies. My member I was analyzing is 4-2x12. Therefore, there are four 2” nominal thickness members and are more than three members...

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...

Enhancement submitted on behalf of Taye Ojo, from Jacobs Engineering Group. CS0222072 – PBI PRODUCT BACKLOG ITEM 1509265: Is there a way to include in the stresses that are compared vs 0.2F´c for the check of section 18.10.6.3.

Ability to generate moving loads in RAM Elements similar to STAAD.Pro.

Sometimes I have two models and would like to combine them.Unfortunately the OpenRE format does not include steel design properties. I would like to either add Steel design properties to the OpenRE file and/OR add an option to import directly from...

Ability to add point loads or line loads to areas. Areas would then distribute the loads to the supporting members based on the direction of the area.
