This combination connection is a column-beam connection. After the column and beam are defined;
With quick drawing mode turned on;
From the Steel Connection menu, click the Head Plate Welded Joint rowWelded Flange Plate Connection icon.
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 Connection menu, click the Head Plate Welded Joint rowWelded Flange Plate Connection icon.
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.

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 plate are adjusted according to the schematic picture given.
...
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 panel are adjusted according to the schematic picture given.
...
Plate Bolts Tab
Determine the number of bolts connecting the slip plate to the beam and 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.
...
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.
