Steps for Connection Design using Auto Connection Vault
Pre-requisites
 STAAD model must be analyzed and mapped to corresponding S3d or Tekla model using Bechtel
Hub Mapping tool. This facilitates the tool to automatically report the member end forces &
connection code.
 Run the Datastore registry file provided by Project Admin to make sure you are connected to the
right project in VPD.
Steps
The below steps to be followed for connection design using Auto connection vault.
 Visit the AutoConnection Portal at http://10.206.121.45/. (To be confirmed by Automation Group)

 Click Connection Report Tab.
 On the Connection Report Tab.
a. Select Type of Connections. The Auto connection portal design the connection based on
connection sequence prepared for each type.
b. Input folder path where the STAAD analyzed file is place. The path should follow by “/”.
c. In case of multiple STAAD files, separate each file path by comma “,”.
d. Press Download Button.
 Extract the downloaded files in C:\VPD\AutoConnection and run “BecACSteel.exe”.
 All Reports would be generated in C:\ConnectionReport.
 After the connection report run is finished, it generates a grouping sheet which provides a report of
connection codes for each member.
 The grouping sheet shall be verified by Design Engineer and modify as per project requirement
 Updated grouping sheet shall be provided to detailing team for importing into Tekla model
 For further steps related to Tekla connection modeling refer to “Instruction Manual -Tekla
Autoconnections”
 After Tekla model is fully connected in all respect, detailing team will generate a grouping sheet
from the connected Tekla model and will issue it to Design Engineer for verifications.
Understanding the Results
Connection reporter reports connections for member support combinations across multiple STAAD
files simultaneously. This process includes checking the connection capacity against each end force
combination. The tool reports interaction ratio & end forces for critical load combination.
After the tool is run, it generates multiple excel files for reporting various connection configurations.
Few examples are as follows:
- Beam to Girder Connection: Staad-Beam2GirderConnectionReport.xlsx
- Beam to Column Web: Staad-Beam2ColumnWebConnectionReport.xlsx

Special Instruction for Design Engineer for Connection Design
1. Grouping Sheet
Design Engineer shall verify the result of each, and every member provided in grouping sheet before
issuing it to Detailing. In case results are missing for any of the member then Design Engineer shall
check the connection type assigned or not to that member.
If connection type is same but connection codes are different for both end of a member, then
Design Engineer shall overwrite the connection code with higher one at both end of the member.
2. For Beam to Column Web Connection

In case of stack module, the beam to column connection for longitudinal beams that are above and
below splice location, shall be modified to connection code as ColBm-01 (Pup Piece) in generated
grouping sheet if the connection code generated by Auto connection vault is SPE or SPE2.
The beam to column connection for longitudinal beams at transport beam level, shall be modified to
connection code as ColBm-01 (Pup Piece) in generated grouping sheet if the connection code
generated by Auto-connection vault is SPE or SPE2.
3. For Beam to Column Flange Connection
At transportation support level, beam to column flange connection of transport beam shall be
modified to connection code as BCFSE-01 in generated grouping sheet if the connection code
generated by Auto-connection vault is SA or SE.
4. For Vertical Brace at Base Plate Location
Design engineer shall verify the requirement of wing plate to provide designed weld length to gusset
plate at base plate location. The wing plate size shall be such that, wing plate shall not clash with
anchor bolt.
5. For Vertical Brace and Horizontal Brace
In case of common bolts used for two different horizontal or vertical brace connection, Design
engineer shall verify all limit state checks at that common location for component of forces from
both the braces.
6. For Temporary / Transport Steel
Design engineer shall verify connection elements for transport /temporary steel if any shall have
bolted connections with permanent steel.
7. For Beam to Column Flange Moment Connections

Page 7 of 115
Design Engineer shall verify the requirement of Doubler plates.

Transfer Force
Concept of transfer force is explained as below:
Transverse Force at Plan Level

Page 29 of 115
If secondary beam connection falls under standard connections (SP, SPE, SA) in the above two patterns.
Then the Standard beam connection has to be checked for = (F br cosØ + Actual axial force in the beam).
Transverse Force at Elevation on Column Web

Page 30 of 115
1) L.H Beam to pup piece connection shall be designed for = F1 + Horizontal brace component*
2) R.H Beam to pup piece connection shall be designed for = Transfer force Provided
3) R.H Pup piece to column connection shall be designed for = Transfer force Provided
4) L.H Pup piece to column connection shall be designed for = F1+ Horizontal brace component*
* If Horizontal brace Boomerang gusset connecting to L.H / R.H Beam. If no horizontal brace, this
Component becomes "0".
