Beam Column Flange Connection C1 - Connect Holes tab

Used to set connect holes along web and flanges and define web cut.


SettingDescription
Connect Web Defines the number, position and orientation of the holes in the web of the connect shape.
  • Horizontral Count – Sets the number of the holes in the direction of connect shape. Default is 2.
  • Horizontral Distance – Sets the distance between two adjacent holes along the direction of connect shape. Default is 75 or 3 depending of the units setting.
  • Horizontral Edge – Sets the distance between the end edge of the web and the center of the first hole along the direction of connect shape. Default is 25 or 1 depending of the units setting.
  • Vertical Count – Sets the number of the holes in the direction of Y-Axis of the connect shape. Default is 2.
  • Vertical Distance – Sets the distance between two adjacent holes along the direction of Y-Axis of the connect shape. Default is 80 or 3 depending of the units setting.
Connect Web Cut


Defines the dimensions of the poly-cut on the web and flanges of the connect shape .
  • Cut Web Offset – Sets the offset of the web to be cut to the edge of the flange in the direction of connect shape. Default is 10 or 0.4 depending of the units setting.
  • Cut Radius – Sets the round cut radius of the web poly-cut. Default is 30 or 1.2 depending of the units setting.
  • Flange Chamfer X – Sets the dimension of the cut on the flanges of the connect shape along the direction of X-Axis of the shape to allow welding. A positive value will set the cut length along horizontal direction of the connect shape. A negative value is to be read as its absolute value. Default is 5 or 0.2 depending of the units setting.
  • Flange Chamfer Y – Sets the dimension of the cut on the flanges of the connect shape along the direction of Y-Axis of the shape to allow welding. A positive value will set the cut height along vertical direction of the connect shape. A negative value is to be read as its absolute value. Default is 5 or 0.2 depending of the units setting.
Connect Flange Defines the number, distance and orientation of the holes on the flanges of the connect shape.
  • Horizontal Count – Sets the number of the holes in the direction of connect shape. Default is 2.
  • Horizontal Distance – Sets the distance between two adjacent holes along the direction of connect shape. Default is 75 or 3 depending of the units setting.
  • Horizontal Distance – Sets the distance between the end edge of the flange and the center of the first hole along the direction of connect shape. Default is 25 or 1 depending of the units setting.
    Note: Applicable only when the Support Type is set to T-Shape.
  • Vertical Edge – Sets the offset of the center of the outer holes to the edge of the flange along the direction of X-Axis of the connect shape. Default is 25 or 1 depending of the units setting.
