RAM SS- Axial Design Check for Braced Frame/Collector Beams

Adding  an axial design check for beams or collectors to a braced frame lateral frame system.  In particularly for rigid diaphragms these forces are not applied to horizontal members and require separate hand checks or analysis in another program.  This is a tedious process to pull forces from the model and either tabulate the frame shears or apply statics to get the net axial force in the horizontal member.
