P Delta

P Delta

(OP)
Is there any significance when using the LC Generator that the P Delta is only auto filled for IBC Strenght Load cases and not IBC ASD LC's?

RE: P Delta

There is little significance to that.  

But, if you're using ASD wood design or the older AISC 9th edition steel design, you are not required to do P-Delta.  

Newer codes (AISC 13th ASD) require P-Delta. Perhaps, the program should change that so that it always requires P-Delta when using the LC generator.
