Answer:
To perform a design for several connection nodes, the following points must match:
- Different connection nodes must use the same geometry type; for example, a knee joint.
- The beam and the column(s) of the different connection nodes must have the same length.
- The material of the column cross-sections and material of the beam cross-sections must match.
- The horizontal beam and the column(s) of the different connection nodes must have the same cross-sections.
- The beams of different connection nodes must have the same inclination.
The following deviations may occur in the connection nodes:
- You can use different cross-section and material numbers.
- The number of connected elements, such as tension diagonals, may deviate.
- Different types of hinges can be used.
