Column connection eccentricities

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...

When moving a column on one level include an option that also moves it on other levels.

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.

Do not clear steel beam sizes when changing noncomposite to composite.

Do not clear steel beam sizes when changing non-composite to composite. I'm not sure if this is deliberate or a bug, but members with assigned sizes can be changed from composite to non-composite in the modeler without losing their assignment. How...

RAM SS- Axial Design Check for Braced Frame/Collector Beams

Adding an axial design check for beams or collectors to a braced frame lateral frame system. In particularly for rigid diaphragms these forces are not applied to horizontal members and require separate hand checks or analysis in another program. T...

Torsion Capacity Reporting

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...
