This chapter describes the windows that are especially relevant for the RF-/JOINTS Steel - Rigid module for designing moment resisting joints of I and H beams. The general input parameters are described in Chapter 2.
The input windows of the add-on module are accessible once you select the material Steel and the joint group Rigid Joints.
The input always refers to the design case selected in the upper part of the navigator. To change the design case, simply click the relevant entry in the list.
If the Geometry entry is missing in the navigator, check whether the boundary conditions of the joint are correct in Window 1.2 Nodes and Members. For example, it may be necessary to deactivate connected members for the design (see Figure 5.6).
