Moment Connection Design or Rigid Connection design is made automatically according to the Design, Calculation, and Construction Principles of Steel Structures and AISC 360-16 (ASD and LRFD) regulations. Bolt, weld, plate, geometry, and strength controls are done automatically following the steel connection type.
The Moment Connection inideCAD Structural is a joint that transfers bending moment forces between a steel column and steel beam (or any other two steel members). If a child member (a steel beam) has some internal moment, the connection should be able to transmit the load due to that moment.
While The Shear Connections in ideCAD Structural depend mostly on the web of a section, moment connections add to that by strengthening the connectivity of the flanges. This can be achieved by using plate stiffeners, welds, or other fixtures that strengthen and increase the rigidity of the connection between members.
