Custom Connection Design

Hi, Is it possible to create an advanced joint properties for a custom connection so that I can apply forces and design it? If so, please enlighten me with the steps to do it.

I have this bracket connection between two RHS beams and would like to do a design check in AS if possible.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Kevin.janiardy 

 

No it's not possible I'm afraid, to do that I think you would need to use the API to create a proper connection then create the code for the joint checking 

 

You could use something like the Idea Statica plug in to export the information then send to someone with Idea statica for checking
