Is there any way to do it? thanksen-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/568417?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 12 Feb 2020 05:00:00 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:8dd8b34b-14bc-486b-97a0-1955ddc60ec4Julimar Sundiam<p>Yes it can apply CBB type on Column-Brace joint, but unable to apply it to beam-brace join.</p> <p></p> <p>see attached photo. using ram connection. I can apply CBB on ram in part which encircled by yellow color, but can&#39;t apply CBB on the part encircled by green.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p><img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5932/6735.Untitled.png" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/568265?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 11 Feb 2020 11:06:08 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e052ce90-ffb1-4a50-9e08-82ea0999640aAbhisek M<p>There are some templates for bracing connection. You may try CBB type for your case. A sketch or sample file will help me to answer your question in better way.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/568185?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 11 Feb 2020 02:04:46 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:67add301-2b4a-4a0e-9912-6d678fefa320Julimar Sundiam<p>maybe I&#39;ll use standalone version, assume my column as a beam and tweak axial and shear load acting on it.</p> <p>since my knee brace will not carry bending moment I can neglect my bending moment acting on my actual beam.</p> <p>Is this the right way to do it?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
