I've got a reinforced concrete shear wall building with some interior concrete beams/columns which aren't part of the seismic force resisting system. When using the concrete design module of Bentley Ram I need to designate the frame (beams and columns) as either an ordinary, intermediate or special moment frame. How can I have the Ram Concrete Design module design the columns as members not part of the SFRS and not as moment frames? In other words per ACI 318-14 section 18.14.
