Thank you Sir.

Please see the screenshot below. As you can see, at node 1781, member 5445 is considered as a Girder in your model. This is not correct, I believe, as member 5445 should be considered as a Beam and members 70 and 4921 should be considered as a Girder. So if you swap beam and girder at these connections using this tool, the utilization ratio of both connections becomes the same, so one of those can be deleted.

No Sir, what you suggest?

The results for both connection at node 1781 are the same, isn't it?

Yes Sir, they are same member, but connections at node 1781 are designed from both sides and 1776 are not.

Make sure that the girder beam is the same member at both BG connections at node 1781. This can be done by using a 'Identify Beam and Girder' tool. Once this is done, both BG connections at node 1781 will have the same ratio.

Sir, I have tried swapping the beam girder but it did not help. pl show me what could be the problem. Also is their a literature that I could study for connection design.

It is enough to have a single BG connection at the single node. If beam and girder members are identify correctly, the results at both BG connection in the same node should be the same. You can check how beam and girder members are identified by clicking on the 'Identify Beam and Girder' icon in the menu.

Dear Sir,

If you look at node 1781 , which is connected between beam nos 70,4921,5445, two BG connections, while node 1776 is also connected with three members is not provided with similar connections.

Nodes 4, 60 and 98 are a beam to column connection, not a beam girder connection. I see that the remaining nodes which you mentioned do have a beam girder connections assigned and designed.

Sir node number 4,29,42,60,5,30,43,61 & 98, are some of the nodes that are fully or partially unassigned with BG template.

Please let us know at least one node where Beam to Girder connection cannot be created.

Sir I am attaching an image for better idea, as their are many nodes. this is an image of first floor level.

Which node?

Thank you Sir,

A per your advice I changed members from Indian to Jindal. But still some BG members are not designed .I have attached the file.

It seems that connection design module is not supporting the Indian NPB sections. If you change it to Jindal NPB, the design should run fine.
