When beams pinned to the web of a column interfere with any stiffeners that are present due to beams fixed to the column flanges, the joint is designed in such a way by the Joints I. Welded. Warehouses with rolled and welded steel I sections and Joints II. Bolted. Warehouses with rolled and welded steel I sections modules that one of the flanges, both or even part of the web of the pinned beam is trimmed if necessary.
The new module: Joints III. Welded – Building frames with rolled and welded steel I sections allows CYPECAD, Metal 3D and the Integrated 3D structures of CYPECAD to carry out the automatic design of welded connections of common rolled and welded I steel sections in building frames.
More information on the properties of this module can be found in Welded joints for building frames with rolled and welded steel I sections (implement code, type of implemented connections…)

As of the 2009.1.g version, users may introduce a value for the rotational stiffness at the ends of elements using the Fixity at ends option, located in the Bar menu. Metal 3D calculates the initial rotational stiffness of elements fixed to bolted connections which have been designed and displays them in the Joints report so users may compare the value to that introduced.
As of the 2009.1.j version, Metal 3D compares the rotational stiffnesses introduced by the user and those proposed by the program, and displays the comparison in an agile and efficient way using the Rotational stiffness option located in the Joints menu. This option allows the user to automatically assign the rotational stiffnesses proposed by the program as well as review them to decide which rotational stiffnesses to adopt.
We have augmented the number of building codes for which you can now obtain USL calculations for both rolled and welded steel members. The calculations are available for the following building codes:
We have recently implemented the following building codes:
