The HBBB connection should support the selection of tubular members as braces. Additionally, several joint types currently restrict certain section selections for braces. I recommend enabling all joint types to accept any brace section to enhance ...

As some one who is colorblind the yellow of the warning design and green of the complete design are similar enough that I can't see them. Others in my office who are color blind have the same issue I have. It would be great if there was a feature ...

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 ...

You are able to model braced frames with HSS column, beam, and brace in RAM Modeler/Frame. However when you push this to RAM connection you are unable to design the connection at this joint. This is very limiting.

Allow users to reorder load combinations instead of listing them in the order of creation.

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...

It would be excellent if the RAM Connection program had the option to export to Excel the report of the input data and results of the connection design.

One of the first options is to have more connection options that reflect real-world cases of beams to tubular columns. Currently, there are very few options for these connections, and the existing ones are not very useful. It would be beneficial t...

We request the ability to programmatically access, extract, and utilize the data generated in the Connection Design module of STAAD.Pro Advanced, as well as in RAM Connection, through OpenSTAAD, macros, Python or VBA scripts, or a dedicated API. A...

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 ...
