Hello Modestas,
I am trying to design connection as per EC-3 and using European sections but RAM is showing error as below:
Also tell me is it possible to design Column-Column bolted end plate flushed from all sides in STAAD.
Where can I see the explanation of all joints options available in RAM prior to Design.
I am using integrated RAM model with STAAD V8i 20.07.11.90.
I think this is the latest V8i version apart from connect edition.
Do reply as early as possible.
Regards,
Vishal
What column section is being used for that CB connection?
Bolted end plate column splice connections are available for hollow sections in EC3 only.
To see the available connection types, go to STAAD.Pro Help -> Contents, then go to STAAD Graphical Environment -> Graphical Interface Help -> RAM Connection Mode -> Getting Started -> Allowable Member Types Per Connection. Also, RAM Connection standalone manual is a good place to look for more detailed information.

I have used HE section as column.
I also wanted to use Bolted end plate column splice for HE section, in order to keep the plate flush wrt to column.
I was able to design CB connection with HE section in build 20.07.11.90 (thought it may take a bit time). Could you attach that STAAD.Pro model together with files .rcc, .rsd and .cut for the investigation?
I could only find.cut file, among the files you mentioned.
Any way I have uploaded all support files via secure file upload.
Looking forward to your reply.
You should be using European section database instead of German database for the HE columns.
Aren't both European and German HE sections are same?
So just change in library makes difference, why?
