Allow Pseudo-Diaphragm Loads to be applied to beam-only frame lines

Currently RAM Frame only applies pseudo-diaphragm loads to beam/column frame lines that include columns and the loads are subdivided based on the column tributary areas, not the beams. However, in many cases, collectors need to be detailed for var...

Bring RAM SS into the 21st century

It's now 2024, many if not all of the requests in this forum have been open requests for YEARS and in some cases over a DECADE. Why is this program not being updated other than for new code requirements? Wind uplift still has not been implemented ...

Generation of Wind Load for non-regular building shapes (e.g., C, L, and U shaped floor plates)

We don't see many rectangular structures these days. Would be great if RAM Frame could generate wind loads for non-regular building shapes (e.g., "C", "L", & "U" shaped floor plates). This would be a time-saver having not to hand calculate and...

Import DWG drawings to be used as a reference layout in RSS, similar to what you do in Ram Concept.
