WITH THE ATTACHMENT
Dear Sir,
I am designing a Steel Portal Frame in STAAD. After completing analysis and design, for moment connection design I am using RAM Connection mode. (Refer MC.pdf sketch). I have following questions.
1) After performing one Moment connection design (Left end of W18 beam), How can I utilize the same connection details on other end of beam? Currently I am assigning all the connections details again for other end of the beam.
2) Is it possible to design both ends of the beam for the worst loading simultaneously?
