Is there a way to access information from the Steel Column design module via DataAccess? It seems possible to grab just about everything from the Steel Beam design module, but I can't seem to find similar functionality for columns. I'm looking for the effective length Lu, Kx, Ky, Pu, Mux, Muy for the controlling load combination.
The only steel column design results that are available in RAM DataAccess are the controlling code check ratios in RAM Steel Column and RAM Frame Steel Standard. These are available as properties in the IColumn interface (IColumn.dUnityForSizeSelected and IColumn.dStressRatio). As you noticed, there is some information available for gravity steel beam designs, but very little design related data for the other modules.
Thanks Eric. Are there any plans to add more detailed design information? It would be very useful!
