How to deal with the warning "High value moments detected in the axis perpendicular to the design axis" in gusseted base plate in RAM Connection? Model is having fixed support in STAAD.

In RAM Connection, gusseted base plates are designed for one axis moment only. Depending the design axis it checks if there is any moment in other directions also. If yes, then it shows the yellow color with warning.
Here, the columns are having fixed support and hence moments exists in both direction. So, if you can change the support conditions to pinned one in STAAD, that may help. But as RAM connection reads the beam end forces, I would suggest not to change the supports but to apply releases at the end of columns near support end. This also will create pinned base condition depending on member release direction. For a check if you apply end release for all the columns at support end with MY and MZ, you will find all connections are shown in green in RAM Connection.
Please check if this boundary condition satisfies your requirement and helps you make the design warning free.
