Shear/Torsion calculation concrete beam ETABS

Shear/Torsion calculation concrete beam ETABS

(OP)

For the design of concrete beams as part of a concrete frame in ETABS, when the combination of Torsion and Shear Force is exceeded the following message appears:

O/S #45 "Shear Stress due to Shear Force and Torsion Exceeds Maximum Allowed".

However, ETABS is evaluating this at the face of the column when, in fact it can be evaluated at a distance d from the face of the support. When I look up this specific location (a distance d from the face of the column), the beam checks. Is there a way to tell ETABS to evaluate this value at a distance d from the support?

Thanks for your time.
