I am doing some manual connection analysis using the steel connection module of Robot Pro 2014.
In the New Connection toolbar I can select all connection types except the Column-beam (two-sided) connection, which button is disabled and grey coloured.
I however need this analysis type. How can I make Robot enable this button so I can do such an analysis?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

This connection type is available only for French CM66 code.

Eurocode asks for a check taking into account the interaction of both beams (mainly for web shear checks).
Is this incorporated in the single sided column-beam check by entering values for moments and forces for both b1 and b2?
Yes, it is. If you check the calculation note ( or use manual calculations of the connection) you can see the forces for both (left and right) beams. Mind that it is assumed that the beams are of similar sizes.
