OK. no problem.

See this tutorial

May you have defined another connection type for that node so, you should delete the old one and define the new.

But it's not applied to the structure?

Hi Mohammed,

Thank you for trying to help but my understanding is that the beam is actually rotated by 90 degrees so that its web is perpendicular to the column. In Robot such geometry of the connection is limited to beam to beam web connection with loads acting in the direction parallel to the secondary beam web.

Hi @yesterday55555

try to split the column (near the peak) and then create your connexion

Re: Steel design connection

But is that right way to design ?

No, just a tip

Your kind of connexion not available.

I know that this type connection is not availble, but I still try to find that way that I can use RSAP to design without excel sheet
