Is there a way to confirm the loads that are imparted from a stub cantilever gravity beam into its supporting column, and can we confirm that this is what RAM does in the steel column design module? My office was reviewing a couple of cantilevers off…

I have used the concrete functions in RAM SS for lateral design, I know that the columns designated as 'Lateral' will use the RAM Frame loads for design (when checked off) for design checks. I am now using RAM SS for a steel structure, and noticed notes…
