Tension Members Only and Track 2

I know it has been asked but I cannot seem to get my file to bypass the slenderness check for the tension only bracing members. My file is attached if someone knows what i am doing wrong?

I also do not believe it is printing out the full design track for Track2. I remember it printing more details in past versions.

  • There is no CHECK CODE command in your model after the design parameters TRACK 2 and MAIN 1, hence those design parameters are ignored. Change the input syntax from:

    PARAMETER 1
    CODE AISC UNIFIED 2016
    CHECK CODE ALL
    PARAMETER 2
    CODE AISC UNIFIED 2016
    TRACK 2 ALL
    MAIN 1 MEMB 488 TO 571

    to:

    PARAMETER 1
    CODE AISC UNIFIED 2016
    TRACK 2 ALL
    MAIN 1 MEMB 488 TO 571
    CHECK CODE ALL

    and the design results should become as expected.
