Such connection type is not available in Robot.

Do you mean such one ! 

Or this one (bolted)

Exactly. However i can't apply that kind of connection for the above mentioned bars.

[Mohammed_Ata]

OK. no problem.

See this tutorial 

May you have defined another connection type for that node so, you should delete the old one and define the new.

But it's not applied to the structure?

Please, attach us if there is a warning message from RSA !

Hi Mohammed,

Thank you for trying to help but my understanding is that the beam is actually rotated by 90 degrees so that its web is perpendicular to the column. In Robot such geometry of the connection is limited to beam to beam web connection with loads acting in the direction parallel to the secondary beam web.

@Artur.Kosakowski  Can you please tell me the way that I can design this steel connection type in Robot structural ?

Hi @yesterday55555 

try to split the column (near the peak) and then create your connexion

[yesterday55555]

But is that right way to design ?

[Simau]

No, just a tip

Your kind of  connexion not available.

I know that this type connection is not availble, but I still try to find that way that I can use RSAP to design without excel sheet
