Using RAM Connection Standalone, for a CBB (Column-Beam-Brace) connection, I cannot assign SP (Single Plate) connections from the Design\Assign tab. I get the following error:
I can assign a double angle connection, then force the connections to single plates in the design edit. Last week before a STAAD update, I was able to assign this connection from the Design/Assign tab. Any thoughts?
The error is:
Assignment errors for joint 1
Internal design error in the connection. Please contact technical support
Regretfully, this is a program defect that was introduced in version 11.0. The problem and a recommended work around are discussed on the web page below:
