Steel connection problem

[EY23]

hi

i have a problem in changing the angle section of steel conection. the default section is 4x4x0.375 . If i changed the section and run the connection calculation the angle return to the default section which is 4x4x0.375. any help?

Is it the connection imported form a model? If yes, then you cannot change the section size and you will need to make such change in the model instead.

what do you mean by "imported from a model?"

all what i did is select all the structure and click on the connection wizard...the caluclate and I fix the connections that didn't pass

This is exactly what I meant.

1. Assign new sections you want to use to elements that define the connection in the model

2. Calculate the model

3. Update the connection (original profiles will be replaced with the new one you assigned to the elements of the model, new values of forces will be imported from the model)

4. Verify the connection

I have the same problem  and I tried many combinations to fix it but I already had the same angle 4x4x0.375.

I want to use an angle 5x5x0.375 .

Please, I need help for that .

Hi @Anonymous 

Could you zip and attach your model? Please indicate the connection number if more than one is defined.

Same problem here, the angle shape (not the main members) for the connection is stuck at 4x4x3/8 and I can't seem to be able to change it (connections 1 through 4 in the model). I would need some help with it too. It would be great if you could post the solution here. Thank you.
