ROBOT Steel connection design issues

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have two issues with steel connection design, that I'm hoping someone can help me with.

Firstly, I have a beam to beam ridge connection for a warehouse portal frame. The beam slopes should be 6 degrees either side, however the left beam slope is automatically defaulting to 265 degrees giving a really odd arrangement. I have attached the ROBOT file for reference.

Secondly, I need to design a two sided beam to column moment end plate connection, however the module for this appears to be blocked on my version of ROBOT. Is this something to do with the codes i am using? I want to design to AISC but only the Eurocode is available as an option for design in ROBOT. Attached is a screenshot showing the two sided connection design module hidden in grey.

Would appreciate if anyone could assist with these.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, this type of the connection is supported for selcted design codes only.

AISC is not available for steel connection design in Robot.
