Triple Brace A
Used to parametrically generate a connection between three brace members and a supporting member.
The Substation Gallery object connection is intended for use with triangular and rectangular substation trusses. This tool can also be used on any pipe or hollow HSS tube supporting shape providing that an offset distance between the connection shapes and the center of the support shape by the plate thickness has already been included.
This connection supports any combination of three, four, five, or six (including two back-to-back) angles.
Accessed from:Plate tab
Used to specify geometry for the gusset plate, which can vary for each connecting brace. The three sub-tabs allow for different values or to use the same values for side braces.
Hole tab
Used to specify bolt arrangement for each brace in the connection. Braces can be designated separately, individually, or edge braces different than the center brace.
Bolt/Weld tab
Used to enter bolt or weld data.
Group tab
Used to create a new ProStructures group with the Substation Gallery objects.
