Design of Single-Angles in 2D Frame Module

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Why won't the 2D Frame module design single-angles?

 

The 2D Frame module and the Steel Column module are not able to design single-angle compression members, because they almost always require a design that considers flexure and buckling about the principal axes according to AISC provisions.  These modules are unable to perform that design, so they simply indicate that a hand calc is required.
