Hi all,

has anyone got a reasonable explanation of the difference between the frame end length offsets and insertions points in ETABS?

I have to model a simply supported beam resting on a corbel at the column face, this eccentricity will generate an additional moment on the column centroid, which function is better in this case?

I have used both and found that there is a moment being generated at the column centroid when I use End Length Offsets but the results are not balancing out and not comparing with a manual analysis.
