Anchor Bolt Styles - Head Bolts tab

Used to specify parameters for headed anchor bolts.

Note: Ignore the Thread length parameter (the 0:4 1/2 dimension in above illustration). It is not currently used by OpenBridge Modeler .

Setting	Description
Top Zone	The check boxes enable the Top Zone optional accessories, such as nut and washers in the top zone (above the anchored surface). The [?] buttons are used to open database files where the respective record index is picked from the nut/washer dialog. For washers between the nuts, the pull-down option can be set to include 1, 2, or no washers.
Middle Zone	The check box enables the Middle Zone accessory. When on, the embedment sleeve picked from the bolt database is included.
Pl Thk	Sets the plate thickness.
Grout Thk	Sets the grout thickness.
Anchor bolt diameter	(Required) - Sets the anchor bolt diameter. Use [?] to select a database value for the hook anchor bolt diameter (recommended).
Bolt Styles dimensions	The following dimensions are labeled by dimension lines on the diagram: Head related dimensions: Head width - sets the head nut outer diameter. Head height- sets the head nut height. `Common` bolt dimensions: Thread length - sets the length for anchor bolt treads. Extrusion length - sets the anchor bolt extension. Embedment length - sets the anchor bolt length excluding thread length.
Name	Used to enter/select a name for the anchor bolt style. Names you enter are saved to the drop down list provided. Tip: Use the and dialog controls to load or save a style.
Workloose	Sets the hole tolerance.
Part list Entry	When on, the part is taken in the BOM/partlist.
Material/Grade	Sets the material grade taken from the material file.
Item Number	A user-defined value for an item number is set here.
Partlist Name	Sets the name formatting using naming variables for BOM/partlists.
Export Name	Sets the name formatting using naming variables for exports/transfers.
Placement Pattern	The fields vary depending upon the Arrange Type is set. Arrange Type ? Select the general arrangement method for the pattern, either Rectangular or Polar The placement pattern parameters change accordingly.
Rectangular Arrange Type	Two sets of values to describe the parametric patterns along two axis. Both X Direction and Y Direction have the same parameters. Note: To create a linear pattern, leave the the Pattern field for the Y Direction blank. Pattern ? Type a integer number of bolts times (with an asterisk, “”) the distance between bolts. Different spacings can be used by separating with a comma. For example, `23,6,3*2` will two bolts at 3 minor units apart, skip 6 minor units, and then place three bolts at 2 minor units apart. Rot angle ? Rotation angle sets the axial rotation of the anchor bolt. Note: This is primarily useful for book or bent anchor bolts, dowels, and studs. Orientation ? The orientation values in the drop-down list control depend on the arrangement type selected. XSOUT/YSIN XSOUT/YSOUT YSOUT/XSIN YSIN/XSIN Diagonal ? (Rectangular arrangement only) When on, the four outermost corner anchor bolts are rotated at 45? off of the X or Y axis of the pattern. Pattern Justification ? (Rectangular arrangement only) This control is used to select the point from which the pattern is arranged. Which ever of the nine points is selected is used as the insertion point and the rectangular arrangement is arrayed outward from this point.
Polar Arrange Type	A set of values to describe a semi-circular or circular pattern of anchors. Count ? Number of anchor bolts along this direction of the pattern (i.e., number of rows or columns) Tip: To create a linear arrangement of anchors, leave the Y Direction Count field blank. Radius ? Sets the radius of the Anchor bolt circle. Start angle ? Defines the angle at which the first anchor bolt is created. Included ? The angle subtended between the first and the last anchor bolt created. Orientation ? The orientation values in the drop-down list control depend on the arrangement type selected. In ? all anchor bolts are rotated with legs towards the center of the anchor bolt arc segment or circle Out ? all anchor bolts are rotated with legs away from the center of the anchor bolt arc segment or circle
