Autodesk Inventor

[#1]

I'm fairly new to Inventor and have been working with frame generator and analysis recently. Will Inventor 2013 check or analyize a frame to see if it meets ASD/AISC code similar to what RISA 3-D will do? If so, how can you perform this check?

The memebers in Frame Generator are dimensionally sized as per the designated standard but the Analysis tool is not to ensure compliance to standards. It's to check structural integrity based on imposed forces.
