Regretfully, but such template is not implemented for Eurocode.

Thank Modestas,

For the connection with a brace angle connected to the beam flange as captured below, is there any connection type can be used in Staad Pro connection? Previously when I used US codes, this connection can be dealed by Gusset Plate CVR (Gusset Plate, Chevron), but it is not here when I use Eurocode.

When the Structural Integrity option is checked, the requirements for structural integrity are included in the design (Section 1.2, EN 1991-1-7). All buildings must satisfy certain structural integrity requirements. For some classes of buildings it will be necessary to check the connection for horizontal and vertical tying forces, used to ensure a minimum level of robustness and to prevent disproportionate collapse in the event of an accidental action affecting the structure.

Thank you for your help Modestas,

Further to the topic, could you please explain what is the "structural integrity" in the connection check? as I can see, it does impact seriously to the design result if we consider this "structural integrity" or not.
