Defect Description

AS 4100-98 Clause 8.2 states that the design bending moments shall be the maximum major and minor bending moments in the member. These maximum moments may not occur at the same location. When designing for axial-flexure interaction, the program used the moments at the same location only. When the location of the maximum major and minor moments do not occur at the same location, the interaction ratio is calculated incorrectly. The defect most often occurs with multi-story columns in which the unbraced segment consists of more than one physical member.

Solution

Problem corrected in version 15.04.00.00.
