Problem Description
Channels with noncompact or slender webs and flanges were unintentionally designed and incorrect capacities were output by the program.
Reason
AISC 360 Section F2 applies to channels with compact webs and flanges only. When the section was slender, the program should have output a slenderness warning and reported no design.
Solution
The issue will be resolved in the release after v15.03.00. In the meantime, the user should use caution designing slender channel sections in the Ram Steel Beam module.
