Cold Form Steel Program: Moment & Shear
Cold Form Steel Program: Moment & Shear
(OP)
This is for users of the CFS program by RGS Software for cold formed steel member design.
In the member check menu, the user is required to input the axial loads, moments and shears. Must the maximum shear and moment be used even if they do not occur at the same location?
Thanks.

To be completely thorough, you could check the point of max moment, with the axial and shear that occur there.
Then check the point of max shear, with the axial and moment that occur there.
