Often, roofs are more complex than flat, full-plate diaphragms with uniform parapet heights on all sides. When a single parapet height assignment in RAM Frame isn't accurate enough, the user needs to define additional wind loads. I would like to m...

The lateral nodal loads aren't used until RAM Frame, so why should I have to go through RAM Steel Beam and Column checks every time I change one? These should be able to be applied and modified in the RAM Frame module. This would also help deletin...

In frame, allow defined section cuts for diaphragms to be saved rather than redrawn every time.

RAM Frame uses a single mesh size for the entire model - all walls and all floors. An appropriate maximum mesh size for a coupling beam might be as small as 6", but that is excessively small for the entire floor diaphragm. RAM should allow the use...

In the newly adopted NBCC2025, load factors from gravity load combinations are being changed. In Canada, RAM will be incorrect/obsolete on all projects moving forward unless the load combinations are addressed.

I would like the column connection eccentricity use the actual column geometry to consider whether the centerline of the beam strikes the web or the flange of the column. Currently, RAM allows you to specify an angle to "split" the reaction, but t...

Add wall thickness to steel column trial group.

When a column is moved it only moves on one level which makes you chase down data check errors when columns are misaligned. When column locations change it would be nice to have the option to move it on all levels and not just the one selected.

In the steel beam module, allow a different size for the cantilever and backspan when modeled as "extensions".

See PRODUCT BACKLOG ITEM 1677993 In RAM Concrete Beam and Column, we report 0.75*Tn, which is actually 0.75*Tth (see ACI 318-19 22.7.4.1). I recommend using that notation in Concrete Beam and Column Design reports when ACI 318-14 or ACI318-19 is u...
