While I appreciate the effort to allow an ACI Appendix D override in RAM Connection 9.1, it should either perform a complete calculation, or simply turn off the check altogether. When the option to provide primary shear reinforcing is selected, no option is given to select a number of ties, only a rebar size (i.e. #4 bar, grade 60). This leads to implausable results that are worse than ignoring the reinforcing. Please issue a patch either turning the check off when reinforcing is selected, or giving the user the option to choose a specific number of bars.
The only work around I can think of would be to put in a bar grade that is a multiple of the number of bars provided. If you have 12 ties w/ 2 legs each, the grade would be 12*2*60ksi=1440ksi
