For concrete design, DESIGN LOAD case should show to critical load case, regardless if minimum rebar is enough

When I model a concrete column in Staad.Pro, and perform the design, if the minimum rebar, lets say 1% is good enough for all load cases, the design load reported in the screen is the first load case. I understand because that rebar is OK for all load cases.


But I think it should report the most critical load case.


In the attached screenshot, I filter the most critical case. But if I use load list for several load cases, it reports only the first load case.

    Thank you for posting this idea. We are developing a new version of the design solution that will report the the load case with the maximum BM/Capacity ratio.
