In staad if one member has multiple bracing members connected at different components of that member (e.g flange, web etc) how can I assign those connections? Is it a viable option to use offset? Also, in case of offset members it is also not possible to connect members from one offset to another one since we are not getting any additional nodes for the offsets. If we use plates to form a girder then we won't be getting the forces & moments of that element, we would only be able to check the plate stress? Can anyone attach any sample models?

How can I connect two bracing members from the top flange of one girder to the bottom flange of another girder?
