Lateral torsional buckling of I beams with restraint

I am looking to model buckling of I steel beams with restraint in abaqus. But I do not know how to make rigid connections between the steel members. 

 

Why is the other beam( beam with fixed supports) not stressed? How do i define contact between the two beams.

1. Why do you have BC in every point of the end of the beam? I usually use an MPC and add BC only to it's RP.

2. Related to contact, you can use constraint-tie and select the master and the slave surfaces. But I don't know how the 2 beam are connected in reallity or how do you want to model them. Need some more info.
