Member Code Check

The Process - Member Code Check command causes the stress and capacity checks based on the currently selected steel code, to be run on all steel frame members. The Code Check is performed for all generated and user-defined load combinations that are selected.

Once the Code Check is complete, the model is drawn on the screen with members color-coded to indicate the degree of stress experienced by each member as determined by the Interaction Equations. A color chart correlates member color with Interaction Equation values. This display reflects the controlling condition for each member based on the load combination specified for the load cases analyzed.

Click the "Show Values" button in the legend to display the interaction values directly on the members.
