Double angle connection to beam-column web intersection

[Anonymous]

Hi everybody;

I have a problem with the calculation of the Double Angle bracing connection to the corner of the beam to column web connection. When I have a double angle section for my bracing, the software is not able to calculate the connection, but when I replace it with the single angle section, it is able to calculate the connection. How can I fix this problem ?

Thanks

Only some of the connections in advance steel have joint validation,  an alternative way to do this is to model in advance steel what you require and then it is possible to export the elements to a dedicated connection design solution like idea statica.

this will thrn be able to check the joint designed to the loading s indicated.

advance steel is for detailing of connection as it fundamental operation.
