    Incorporate Floorvibe version 3.1 into RAM Structural System beam design module.

    Floorvibe version 3.1 utilizes analysis procedures in the 2nd Edition of AISC Design Guide 11, while version 3.0 is based on the 1st Edition. Calculations based on the 1st edition tend to underpredict vibration for walker paces less than 100 steps...

    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...

    Ability to open multiple RAM SS at same time

    I can open RAM concept multiple files and compare the results. However, I belive RAM SS has no such capabilties. Sometimes I like to open two different models at the same time to compare the results.

    Sort Concrete Beam Section Property Data in RAM Modeler

    Please add the ability to sort both the section property catalogue and the assign sizes dialogue in RAM Modeler for more efficient workflow. On concrete buildings, as the design and detailing progresses, we get quite a list of concrete beam size...

    RAM Connection/RAM SS brace angle override

    It would be nice if the integrated RAM Connection would allow a permanent override of brace angle on CBB and CVR connections. RAM SS designs to an analytical line at the top of the beams, and we design braced frame connections to the centerline. t...

    Continuous Footing - Option to not consider perpendicular footings

    Provide an option so that perpendicular footing loads are not applied to the continuous footing. I'm not sure I understand why the program does this in the first place. It seems like you are accounting for the load twice under the current rules.

    Please don't make me click OK for every inadequate column when generating the column design report.

    When generating the column design report, please don't make me click OK for every inadequate column. A summary of all inadequate columns or no warning at all would be sufficient.
