Currently, there is no way to design a gusset base plate connection if the column base has braces coming into it from 2 different planes. You can't even assign 2 separate connections, one for each plane, like you can at CBB joints.

it is being used in piperacks design with cable trays and will be a big help to designers if this will be included in the next version

I have recently been requested to design a nonstandard profile splice joint. The profile consisted of double-up 200PFC. Unfortunately, RAM does not have this option. I had to take this task to the FEA and spend long time analysing connection. This...

This will save time when checking typical base plate locations and identify when model/load changes affect the base plate acceptability.

When beams under high axial load is connected to the web of w columns, doublers may be needed for both the columns and beams at the connection.

It is especially needed for copped beams to the web of W columns connections with extended end plates.
