The Process-Joint Code Check command causes all lateral I-Section moment (rigid) connection joints to be evaluated based on the selected steel design specification. The Code Check is performed for all generated and user-defined load combinations that are selected. Refer to the technical section for the criteria by which the joints are validated and checked. No joint code check is performed for hanging columns.

Once the Code Check is complete, the model is drawn on the screen with the joints color-coded indicating if the joint requires reinforcing and if a web plate and stiffener could be adequately designed. A color legend correlates joint color with the code check status values.
