Flange Brace Connection - Connect Brace tab

Setting	Description
General	Side Selection – Sets the side to either connect shape or support plate. Positoin Selection – Sets the web side of the shape to be connected (Left or Right side), which is to be used for attaching the web plate. When Both sides is selected, a plate is attached to both sides of the web. WP to Gusset Face – Sets the Work Point distance to the gusset face. This is the center point for members in connection used for detailing purpose. Shape Class – Sets the class for angle shape of the selected connection. Only shapes that are equal-sided angles and unequal-sided angles can be selected. Shape Size – Sets the size for the selected shape of web angle. Turn Angles – When checked, the long and short side of the web angle are exchanged so that the long side is situated at the connecting shape. Use Plate – When checked, the uses plate for brace connection. The Longitudinal/Transverse Spacings settings thus disabled.
Longitudinal Spacing	Number – Sets the number of bolts to be placed on the X axis. Edge Distance (w1) – Sets the distance from the start of the shape to the center of the first bolt. Edge Distance (w2) – Sets the distance from the end of the shape to the center of the last bolt. Distance Between (w3) – Sets the distance between the center of the bolts. Note: Enabled for more than one Number of bolts. Slot Length – Sets the slot length.
Transverse Spacing	Number – Sets the number of bolts to be placed on the Y axis. Edge Distance (g1) – Sets the distance from the edge to the center of the first bolt. Gause Distance – Sets the distance from the edge to the center of the first bolt. Distance Between (g3) – Sets the distance between the center of the bolts.
Bolts	Bolt Type – Sets the bolt style from the drop-down list. Diameter – Sets the hole diameter of the selected bolt from the drop-down list of bolt diameter table. Workloose – Sets the clearance between bolt and hole diameter. Additional Length – Sets an additional length to the bolts extension outside the nut. Turn – When checked, the bolt direction is inverted. Available when not welded. Weld – When checked, the shapes are welded, instead of bolting. Note: When set to Weld, disables the Bolts and Spacing settings.
Flange Plate	Cope Length – Sets the length of the cope on the flange plate. Cope Clearence – Sets the clearance offset for the cope on the plate. Plate Thickness – Sets the thickness of the plate used for the flange.
