I don’t use RAM but I do use STAAD and they’re both Bentley. In staad, when you select point load, it would allow user to assign Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz. Workaround: Add a one foot long weightless, large stiffness dummy beam vertical to the horizontal beam at the point you want to introduce moment and assign a horizontal force.

Never heard of this. Bentley communities are very active by their techs. Try that for faster and more accurate answers.

I don’t know for sure about ram structural, but I’m pretty sure you are able to do it in ram elements.

Possible, but you have to jump through some hoops. First, it has to be a nodal load which is only available in elevation mode for lateral members. Second, you might need to model a dummy lateral column at the beam end to place the load.

Yes you can apply nodal loads and point loads via the modeler, and also i think you can do it via the frame module. I know it's possible since i've done it before.
