Problem Description
Column stacks that include multi-story column segments and column segments with an orientation angle greater than 0 and less than 90 degrees were designed incorrectly by the program when the major axis unbraced length was different than the minor axis unbraced length.
Reason
The program used the incorrect unbraced lengths for one of the axes. This may have produced incorrect capacities and an unconservative design.
Solution
The issue will be resolved in the release after v15.03.00.
