I modeled and analyzed a Tube membered structure as per IS:800-2007 LSD in STAAD.Pro Advanced CE - V 22.12.00.142 , and tried connection design using integrated Ram Connection as Per American Code.
I am encountering an error that connections are not detected.
I have assigned member attributes as Column, Beam, and Braces as incidental in the Staad Model before starting Ram Connection. Please Help

Which node are you assigning the connection to?
None of the nodes are being identified in RAM Connect. I wanted to design all connections
In general, connections in your structure could be designed only using the Chord Branches connection template. To design these type of connections, appropriate member attributes have to be assigned to the members in the STAAD.Pro model as explained in this Wiki: https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki/46960/chord-branch-type-connections-between-hss-members
However, the issue in your model is that branches of the truss members in your model have angles less than 30 degrees. RAM Connection supports the design of Chord Branches connections only when the angle between the chord and the branch is more than 30 degrees
Hello Modestas is there any reason for limiting angle to be greater than 30?
