BCF - web compression buckling check is missing

Question

In the RAM connection design report for BCF type of connection, web compression buckling check in accordance to: AISC 360J (eq. 10-8) & DG4 (eq. 3.26) is missing. 
 This should be check when both column sides are with moment connections with gravity load @ section with flanges in compression. 
 
 Please find attached document.

I presumed you would use DG 16 for a non-seismic case. For more on the differences see this: communities.bentley.com/.../9614.ram-connection-extended-end-plate-moment-connections-mep 
But, as it stands, we only report the compression buckling of the column web for IMF and SMF joints.

In Ram Connection stand alone, when using the Smart MEP Extended both ways (DG4/Seismic) connection in a joint where there is an oppoite (left) beam defined, we do check Equation 10-8. In the STAAD interface, the application of the "exists opposite" flag is not working perfectly. You will have to manually check the "exists opposite" flag within the connection pad for your joint. Also make sure the opposite beam size and forces are entered. Finally make sure that you have seismic provisions turned on and hte right frame type select. 
 
 There is an existing defect documented to improve this. Defect 589870: Consider opposite beam in two-sided moment connections is not pulling left beam forces.
