I am getting a error.
While trying to design check column using IS 13920-2016 in Concrete design workflow error is coming as under:
*** ERROR: MINIMUM DIMENSION OF COLUMN # 1 SHOULD NOT BE LESS THAN 20 TIMES THE DIAMETER OF THE LARGEST LONGITUDINAL REINFORCEMENT BAR OF THE BEAM AT THE COLUMN JOINT AS PER CL 7.1.1 a) OF IS-13920:2016.
, {NOT IN RCDC/Advanced concrete design} but in StaadPro Design module only.
I have used StaadPro connect edition 22.04.00.40, updated till date.
A clip and Staad file being attached, for checking and confirm finding the same error while using IS13920: 2016, or I am doing some workflow error in commands?
Thanking you.

IS 13920 2016 code has asked for few new checks that was not available in old code. For those check information regarding beam design is required for column design. As your file is not having any beam design command so beams have not been designed and the program is unable to do the check. Please put a beam design command before Column design command in your file and the issue will be solved.

Thanks Dear Abhisek, a beam design command before Column design solved the issue.
It seems to me that IS13920 2016 clause 7.1.1 asks for diameter of largest longitudinal reinf. in BEAM to check 20d as minimum dimension of column; This Beam Reinf. diameter was not getting an output in column design, without invoking "DESIGN BEAM" design Command before "DESIGN COLUMN" command.
You are absolutely correct.
Thanks!!
