Yes - it should be possible to model your connection both directly in IDEA and also in Tekla (then export to IDEA). Please contact your local support team for more assistance. If that doesn't work post a picture of what you are trying to do here...
Have you tried to model this connection already in IDEA StatiCa? There is a trial version you can use. Yes the connection you describe can be modelled!
I look at this and I now see a continuous beam NOT two cantilevers.
I have seen similar done before where the connection is not made until all of the dead load is applied then the connection only takes live load - but not sure if that is what you are after.
To maintain the cantilever, they must...
Ideally - when using IDEA StatiCa you should start with the correctly applied forces and that also includes moments. In doing so the applied forces should be at their correct eccentricity. We have some scope to adjust in IDEA but generally we rely on good analysis results. The offset...
Jumping in late here as I have only just joined. From my perspective it is the engineer who wants the connection to behave in a simplified way so that flange plates carry the moment and web plates the shear. Connections never behave the way you want or expect. The only true hinge connection is...
