Hi,
Greetings! I am trying to design a steel frame (SMF) using SAP. For the ductility requirement, I need to conduct the check for weak beam - strong column measure. As per the design manual of SAP, it says "..the program will report a beam-column plastic moment capacity ratio for every joint..." In the "display design info" there is an option "beam/column capacity ratios", but it is not showing anything (basically color coding of the P-M interaction). Can any of you please let me know how to check this criteria in SAP2000?
Thanks
