How does ideCAD control intermediate moment frame requirements according to ACI 318AISC 341-1916?

...

Tip

...

Beams should be provided to brace the requirements for moderately ductile members in Section D1.2a. It’s important to design beam braces that are placed near concentrated forces and changes in cross-section. It’s automatically controlled and reported by the program.

...

Beam and column members should provide the requirements for moderately ductile members according to Table D1.1.
