Currently for beam to column connections, if the beam is HSS then the column must also be HSS. This is very limiting. It would be nice to allow HSS beam to WF column connections. The forces are often shear, moment & torsion. It would be great ...

It is already widely used

It becomes difficult when there is no template that can apply to joint for connection design. For instance, I have I-section column and hollow rectangular section beam. There is no template that can design such kind of joint.

Add connection type - 'Toe Plates'. Commonly used on site to provide a moment connection between cross-beams. Add connection type - 'Base Plate - Column on Beam Top Flange' Add feature to allow gusset plate lengths at beam interface to be modified...

I am designing a horizontal column-beam-brace connection where one beam is a W12 section and the other is a W8 section. Due to field conditions, I cannot adjust the beam elevations to align at the column. Given this, we should be able to modify th...

RAM connection is not having an option to design the thru bolt connection - baseplate is connected to the concrete with thru bolt. Instead of post anchor and preinstalled anchors, sometimes it is needed to use thru bolt connection. Please find the...

Implementation of ACI 318-14 code in concrete design for anchor design in Ram connection (In Design of Base Plate) due to client However, the software tool supports only for the code ACI 318-08 , ACI 318-11 and ACI 318-19 . Need STAAD Version whic...

It could be useful for companies like Spray Engineering, Cheema Boilers etc. Composite Connections are also in demand.
