The joint reports generated vary depending on the currently selected seismic code, the options selected for that code (Zone etc) and the frame type being checked. To show all the possible variations on the reports is impractical.

All reports will display some fundamental information on the joint’s properties (Yield Strength, Size etc), the story number, frame number, and the frame type. If seismic checks are required then the report will clearly show which code checks were performed (referencing the code section directly) and the results of each of these checks. The engineer is encouraged to refer directly to the section (as shown in the output) in the currently selected seismic code when reviewing the results.

Note that code checks are only performed for valid moment frame joints as described in Section 3.3.1, Assumptions and Limitations.
