How ideCAD defines ductile internal forces according to ASCE 7-16?

...

Tip
  • The overstrength factor Ωo= 1 is taken automatically in the calculation of the reduced internal forcesdesign internal force calculation.

Ωo = Overstrength factor The overstrength factor is not used in calculating the reduced internal forces corresponding to the special, intermediate or ordinary ductile behavior of the structural system elements.

...

Internal forces that oppose ductile behavior are bending flexural moment, tensile force, and similar internal forces. Ductility is the name given to the ability to make large displacements without losing strength. Overstrength The overstrength factor, ΩoΩo, is not used in reduced internal forces such as bending flexural moment and axial force, which have ductile behavior.
