 # result:members in compression not certified

 Last update: 31.07.2026 

**Version: 0.0.0**

## Description

This operator is a non-certified example of buckling resistance verification for the compression members for Class I, 2 and 3 cross-sections. It is only provided as an example if you want to develop your own compute norm operator. The results computed by this beta operator have not been certified by ANSYS. ANSYS declines all responsibility for the use of this operator.

## Inputs

This table lists the input pins for this operator. Input pins define the data that the operator requires to perform its operation. Some inputs are required, while others are optional and provide additional configuration. Each parameter is detailed in the sections that follow the table.
