Typically when printing out an output report for inclusion in a calculation package, I will also include a screenshot of the 3D connection detail view. It would be great if this feature was included by default, or at least an option, as part of the r...

There should be a feature in RAM Connection settings where you can go in and define defaults to all the variables for the project and for the program in general. For example, if I am doing a project where I have a series of connections, and I know...

It would be nice to have an option for Stainless Materials (304/304L, 316, and 316L mainly), especially bolts. But also include built-up stainless equivalent shapes and stainless weld wire. There is a new AISC Stainless code (AISC 313-21) out that it...

Weld group only calculates fillet welds. Seems like a simple addition to check partial penetration groove, flare bevel, and other welds.

There seems to be a small number of modules that actually use the "opposite beam exists" checkbox, however most don't seem to be impacted by it. For connections that don't use it, the option should either be removed, or the module should be updated...

In a project, currently there appears to be no way to reorder the connections that have been added to the project. They will always be listed and numbered in the order in which they were added. It would be great if there was a way to manually renumber...

I wanted to set my bolt eccentricity calculation method to manual in order to design a double row of bolts on my shear tab connection; however, the option is not showing up. How do I get that option to show up? I am on v13 .09.00.163. I am using a std...

A great feature would be if the user were able to select via checkboxes which parameters in the joint were included in the optimization or redesign feature. For example, for a shear connection, if I wanted to keep (5) 3/4" bolts, but I wanted the program...

Hello, I am designing extended shear tab connections in RAM Connection, and am trying to understand/confirm the way the program is calculating the weld capacity on the support side of the plate. I understand that the minimum fillet weld size is determined...

Where/how is are the values being calculated? They do seem to be aligned with the design guide process.

Hi, I justa want to request to add an option for Angle Bar columns for Ram Connection. Angle bar columns are normally used for communication towers, either 3-legged or 4-legged. Regards, Nicolas

Anyone else experience this warning for HSS width/thickness ratio for an HSS column connection? It appears that RAM is back calculating a max thickness for wall thickness. (image attached)

This is an existing connection, from a vehicular bridge. I want to evaluate the current state of the connection, since it is intended to be reinforced because rust has deteriorated the structure. I would like to know how this type of connection can be...

Ram Connections appears to recalculate everything for an entire connections as soon as a single parameter is changed (e.g., bolt size for left beam, gusset plate thickness for lower left brace, etc.). It would be more productive if Ram Connection would...

Hola Por favor me pueden aclarar con que criterio se determina la cantidad de cabillas que están aportando?, es por el grupo de pernos o por cada perno?, podría suministrar un ejemplo gráfico. Muchas gracias

Hello, how can i insert new section in Sectio Data BAse (US) in RAM Connection?

Hello: we have a question when we use the RAM design the conn as shown in the sketch below, we want generate a MC conn on BM A at column flange too( as the conn on BM B), please advise if RAM can do it or not? Thanks, lifan

Good Morning Every one I have an octagonal light Pole that i need to check on its base i cant find the suitable column section for the analysis can i create one or import it such as section designer in SAP2000
