Frame pinned connections

Frame pinned connections are connections that do not transfer any moment. This is caused by the gap between the beam flange and the column flange.

The following type of connections are supported:

• Beam-to-column connections (knee, T, cross).

The beam element is limited to I-section and RHS section, both for major-axis bending configuration. The column element is limited to I-section in major-axis and minor-axis bending configuration.

The following types of connection elements are supported:

• plate welded to beam web and welded to column flange,

• plate bolted in beam web and welded to column flange,

• angle section bolted in beam web and bolted in column flange,

• short endplate welded to beam web and bolted in column flange.
