Connecting steel beam to wall

[Anonymous]

Hello, i want to connect steel beams to a concrete column/slab/wall. I tried to do as in the picture attached but it says "separate structures". It is obviously talking about the "purple" concrete column. How do i link the beams to the purple column?

There are no walls \ panels in model.

Only Bars. These columns ("walls ?") are not conected with the structure

COnnect them by rigid links ,or  better, replace them by panels.

I think i got a solution. i connected the steel beams from nodes 6 and 4 to the node 14 of the column and then used the function OFFSET. So that the force acting on the beams will also react on node 14. Do you think it will work? Also can you indicate to me where can i find the weight of the whole structure (steel and concrete combined)? i tried Analysis tab> Calculation report > simplified note and i got a weight of 17000kg which seems confusing and wrong. can please help, im new to robot. Thanks

No, use rigid links instead.

Sum of reactions in case 1 is total weight

when i use rigid link, what will be my degree of freedom or my blocked directions?
