    Make selection tolerance for column larger

    I'm completing a column design in RAM Structural System and need to update a number of columns. However, it seems like the clickable area for a column to select it is incredibly small. I have to try to select the column multiple times (which takes...

    Maximize embodied carbon reductions in design optimization

    I'm working on reducing the embodied carbon of a project of mine, and I'm having to compare column systems, between WF columns and HSS. WF columns have significantly lower embodied carbon (~60% reductions when using the same weight of steel), so I...

    Develop a procedure for linking RAM SS & RAM Concept models when both steel framing and two-way slabs are on the same level

    There is a pretty nice procedure for importing geometry from RAM SS to RAM Concept for two-way slab design and vise versa to capture the two-way slab properties in RAM SS. But this is really only idealized for when there is only a two-way podium a...

    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...

    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.

    When you are defining a floor in RSS, it would be very useful to be able to import drawings in DWG formats to be used as a template or reference file to define the floor data. You can do this in Ram Concept.; why not in RSS?
