To add SidePlate connections:
- Select the steel beam(s) to which you want to apply SidePlate connections.
- In the Properties window, expand the SidePlate heading and select Apply SidePlate connection at one, or both ends as required.
- In the Properties window, select the SidePlate Connection type that is appropriate to the SFRS type that has been specified, or, if not in a seismic frame, set the type as SidePlate MF (moment frame).
Each connection is initially shown in the graphics as a simple box. After sizing has been performed it will be shown as a pair of plates.
