QUESTION: How RCpier is calculating the Inclination angle shown in the Column Design Interaction Diagram?

ANSWER:

Design of column is not done per face but at an inclined NA; the program reports the inclination angle.

For ABC wizard:

Angle = atan(Muz/Mux) * 180.0/3.14 = 45;

Angle = atan(66.6/66.6) * 180/3.14 

Angle = 0.7854 * 180 / 3.14 = 45
