Transitions between beams

When selecting the "Transitions" option in the "Other options" menu within "Beams", in the "Beam input" tab, right-clicking opens a window showing the different possibilities for resolving the change in section (due to differences in width) where two beams meet a column.

The terms "Left side" and "Right side" refer to the order in which the beam is inserted: when looking from the starting point to the end point of the beam, the left side will be the side on the left of the beam, and the right side will be the opposite.

Once the transition has been chosen for both sides, accept the dialogue box and left-click on the column in the model to make it effective.

The selection of one transition or another does not influence the analysis of the beams, and should be chosen with the sole criterion of facilitating the bending of reinforcements at the change of section.
