Prokon Know-How: Column Design Link Error

Jacobus Oberholster | AEC Engineering Technical Consultant (Prokon)

Whenever you attempt to export a column to the design module using its design link, you might come across an error that halts the entire process. This error is most likely due to connections along the column’s length. Because of the design code’s end-moment restrictions (meaning that it only designs the column using end moments), the program discards any column with connections along its length. In this short clip, I discuss the error and how to correct it.
