https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/244712/axial-force-in-beam-ram-frameHi, I have modeled knee braced frame as shown in imahe below. I am looking at the controlling axial load using member force envelope graphical mode. I see the values for min = -16.54 and max 3.21k. Therefore min value should control. However, when Ien-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/763756?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 28 Apr 2023 16:10:41 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:b3d30fae-4459-48c9-9962-5e022a2d1b5cSeth Guthrie<p>Presumably because 3.2 kips of compression along with the bending moments, unbraced length and Cb factor in the center section yields a higher interaction ratio than 16.5 kips of tension in the shorter segment. You can isolate a single load combination in the Ram Frame Steel mode and recheck the report if needed.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
