The Process-Joint Code Check command causes all lateral I-Section moment (rigid) connection joints to be evaluated based on the selected seismic design specification and frame type. The check is performed for all the selected standard provision mode load combinations, as well as all the selected seismic mode load combinations where specified in the seismic code. Refer to Assumptions and Limitations, for the criteria by which the joints are validated and checked.

Once the Code Check is complete, the model is drawn on the screen with joints color-coded to indicate the status of each member. A color chart correlates member color with the status. This display reflects the controlling condition for each joint based on all the checks performed on each joint.

No Joint Code Checks are performed for hanging.
