Steel Connections Propagation
▪ Propagation is based on several criteria

▪ Recreates the selected connection to the similar input situation:

▪ Number of input elements

▪ Input elements: beams or column
▪ Section type of the input elements
▪ Angle between the input elements
▪ Alignment of the input elements

▪ The standard steel connection will be copied with the same family,
type and specific connection instance parameters
