joint constraint in ETABS

[jmramos]

Hello fellows,
In Etabs, how can we constraint an end joint of a beam offseted from the plan where lies a column to the top centroid joint of these column, so that the forces at the end of the beam are correctly transferred to the centroidal axis of the column?
Thanks in advance

jmramos can you provide a sketch?

there is a youtube video for using links to connect offset beams to columns

Hello wrxsti,

The sketch shown in the video is the one that corresponds to my situation. Although the video is not spoken in English, I think I understand the explanation, about providing rigid links between the nodes.
Thank you for your reply.
