Buckling Lengths

I am calculating a column that is restrained at the base, is held at the top in the X-direction, and can buckle in the Y-direction. I have set the shear lengths of the members using nodal beams. In the design check, the values of the buckling lengths for the calculation are the same, L_(cr,z) = L_(cr,y) = 2.41 m. What am I doing wrong?


Answer:

It is also necessary to enter the buckling length coefficients. The upper and lower parts of the table operate in tandem. The upper table determines the segments for the design checks in the individual directions. The buckling lengths are then defined by coefficients or absolute values in the lower table.
