Joint check between wide flanges


Q: How can I check a joint between two wide flange sections?

A: In MOSES, we use joint only for a tubular joint, not a connection of two non-tubulars. For beam fatigue, MOSES checks both ends and any section change. The ends are what you are calling the "joint". The reason for checking the intermediate points is that you have SCFs for changes in OD and T, for cones, etc.
