steel composite design
(OP)
I've heard that shear studs should not be used on steel beams with webs that are less then 1/4" thick. Is there a reason for this that I am missing? When I run software on these designs, overstresses do not show up.

Be careful! We have had the experience on one project where the erector was not directly over the web, he burned thru the flange (on a beam whose flange was less than that requirement).
