Defect Description
When checking the member design capacity, the design bending moments were not necessarily the maximum moments along the entirety of the member.
Effect: When checking the member capacity, Section 8.2 required that design moments in the primary axes were the maximum along the entirety of the member. Where the maximum moments were not at the same location, the design used the moments at one of the maximum locations in the design rather than combining the max moments at the different locations together with the axial load. The Section Capacity check was correctly performed.
Steps to Reproduce
AS4100-98 Steel Frame design with multi-story column.
Workaround
Problem corrected in version 15.04.00.00.
