hello dears
below the attache of my issue....i wonder how the idecad selects the axial force of shear wall? in the attach image seen that idecad has selected the smallest Axial load result.
please inform me the reason....thanks
 
ideCAD selects the load combination which causes the maximum required reinforcement for columns and shearwalls. (Not the combination with maximum axial force)
Therefore the design axial load may not be the maximum, because typical capacity of a vertical load bearing element under simultaneous axial load & 2-way bending may be higher for increasing axial loads. (Smaller axial loads may cause bigger required rebar areas)
