A few types of connections have been implemented, which in previous versions could only be designed by the Joints I, II, III, IV and V modules in Metal 3D (now CYPE 3D):
- Column-Beam connections (continuous beam with column above or below)
- Beam-Beam connections (beam connected to the web of the other beam)
- Splice connections (of hollow structural sections)
- Ties (column with a tie at the flange or web and beam with a tie at the web)
- Baseplates (detailed in the following section )
Therefore, as of the 2015.a version, the types of joints that can be designed, checked and edited by CYPE-Connect are the same as those for CYPE 3D (Metal 3D) .
