This combination connection is a column-beam connection. After the column and beam are defined;
With quick drawing mode turned on;
From the Steel menuConnectionmenu, click on the line icon for 8 Bolt Joint with Rigid Face PlateBolts Stiffened End Plate Connection.
In 3D perspective view, move the mouse pointer closer to the element, close to the support
After this process, the virtual image of the combination connection will appear.
If the combination connection is suitable, create the combination connection by clicking the left mouse button.
The combination connection will occur with default settings.
Quick drawing mode is off;
From the Steel menuConnectionmenu, click on the line icon for 8 Bolt Joint with Rigid Face PlateBolts Stiffened End Plate Connection.
Click the column then the beam before the 3D perspective view.
The combination connection will occur with default settings.
Double-click the combination connection to change settings. The unification connection dialog will open.
...
When the combination connection settings are changed, the changes can be followed simultaneously in the 3D view drawn in the dialog.

End Plates Tab
The features of the front end plate are adjusted according to the schematic information given.
...
...
Brackets Tab
Determine the dimensions of the plate bracket formed above and below the steel beam according to the schematic figure given.
...
Bolts Tab
...
The properties of the bolts connecting the front plate and the column body are set in this tab.
Determine the distances between bolts according to the schematic representation given.
Bolt properties: Bolt classgrade, bolt diameter size and hole properties are set in bolt properties.
Retaining Boards Tab
The purpose of the continuity plates is to support the column heads in the column-beam joints connections and to ensure the continuity of the beam head. Continuity plates are used for reinforcement in order to bend the column head and prevent column stem flow / wrinkle. If a continuity plate will be made, the option is marked. The geometric properties of the sheet are adjusted according to the schematic picture given.
...
If there will be a continuity plate, tick the option and give the dimensions.
...
Extra Plates Tab
Body reinforcement board properties are set in this tab. If the column body thickness is insufficient, reinforcement plates are used to meet the shear effect of the panel area. If the body reinforcement plate will be made, the option is marked. The geometric properties of the sheet are adjusted according to the schematic picture given.

Chamfers Tab
For easy assembly of the plates in the field, the use of slope, slope type and geometric properties are determined in the joint connection settings dialog.
...
...
Welds Tab
The source weld properties of the joints connections given in the schematic representation are set in the Resources Welds tab. Give the thicknesssize, type, angle values and mark the option whether to weld under construction site conditions.
...
Welding geometry is determined automatically by the program. These properties can be changed to easily determine the joint connection properties. Geometry features are in accordance with industry standards and in the form specified in AISC.

Data Tab
In the design inputsdata, the plate material and the strength of the welding electrodes are is defined. The condition that the main element in the weld joint has less strength than the weld strength is controlled.
...
If necessary, click the list and define "new plate materialCreate New…". To create the welding electrode, give the information "Name" and "Strength" in the dialog that opens after clicking "Create New".
