how to add slots in the clip angle for a bolted clamp detail for bolts through hollow steel beam or column

[@ideastatica_en]

Hello, slotted holes can be added only to the plate that is under the heads of bolts, so only in 1 plate out of the plates connected by a bolt group. www.ideastatica.com/blog/bolts-in-cbfem

Modelling is so challenging in this software. Is it possible to import geometry from 3d cads such as inventor?

[@ideastatica_en]

We are supporting the BIM links to many applications, for geometry import, you can use Tekla Structures, Autodesk Revit and Advance Steel www.ideastatica.com/bim-links

How to model aluminum bracket fixed to aluminum mullion with hollow bolts?

[@ideastatica_en]

Hello Fazil, unfortunately we dont support aluminum material in our applications. What you can do is to change the material properties of steel, but the code-checks will be still as per steel structure. www.ideastatica.com/support-center/user-defined-material-properties IDEA StatiCa Team

how Idea statica model built up tapered beam and column connection?

[@ideastatica_en]

Hello Sumi, you have to use the stiffening member for the tapered part of the connection - see the example in our Sample projects gallery. Or you can use the template directly in the New project wizard. www.ideastatica.com/support-center/double-haunches www.ideastatica.com/support-center/110-new-connection-templates-in-the-starting-wizard

thank you bro thank you

[@dwigaluhayu9216]

hello sir... can you give me information on how to make connection in the model like in minute 26.15 in this video? I can't find it on your website.

[@ideastatica_en]

Hello! Please go trough our Campus course and learn how to model such connections there: www.ideastatica.com/campus Also, you can find similar examples in the Sample models gallery - download and open them and observe how the connection is modeled to reproduce it on your example. www.ideastatica.com/support-center-sample-projects?label=connection&page=2&scroll=true If you struggle, you can also contact our technical support via the User portal: www.ideastatica.com/support-center/how-to-create-a-new-support-case IDEA StatiCa team

Also please provide a tutorial for an example for bolted clamp detail for bolts through hollow steel beam or column?

[@ideastatica_en]

Hello Fazil, you can use the general bolt operation, just like in this case from our Sample project gallery www.ideastatica.com/support-center/anchoring-with-cleats However, please consider the following restrictions: www.ideastatica.com/support-center/through-bolts-for-hollow-sections-warning
