Tips and best practices for modelling and analysing connections more accurately using the finite element method

Modelling and analysing connections between elements in steel structures is a highly relevant task when designing steel structures. This task can be carried out more easily and accurately if the right tool is used, so let us present CYPE Connect. Our program includes the OpenSees analysis engine and can be used in different ways, either combined with other applications such as CYPE 3D and StruBIM Steel, or on its own to model and analyse individual connections.
