| Upper Chord
|
Sets the width and thickness of the haunch top chord.
|
| Lower Chord
|
Sets the width and thickness of the haunch bottom
chord.
|
| Web
|
Sets the thickness of the haunch web plate selected
from the drop-down list, or entered a new value.
|
| Bt. Chord
|
When checked, creates a bottom chord instead of a
complete haunch. No top flange is created, e.g. for the construction of frame
corners.
Disables the
Upper Chord setting, and enables
Turn and
Coped Shape settings.
|
| Turn
|
When checked, and the
Bt. Chord
(Bottom flange haunch) has been selected as haunch
type, the haunch on the topside of the shape is selected.
If the connection appears to be turned, you can
rotate it here.
|
| Cone
|
If this field is checked, a tapered haunch is created
by fitting the width of the haunch flanges to the support and connection shape
and then tapering them. Use the ‘Cone Width’ field to specify a cone width if
you have a specific value in mind. However, the ‘Link Size’ field cannot be
checked as well.
|
| Link Size
|
If this field is checked, the head width and any
existing cone width are fitted to the shape to be connected. Inputs in these
fields will be ignored in this case.
|
| Coped Shape
|
When checked, and you selected Bottom flange haunch
as haunch type, the haunch is not made from individual plates but from a coped
shape. The shape size corresponds to the connection shape; all other shape size
fields are then ignored.
In the neighboring input field, the value sets the
head height of the bottom chord. This is the distance from the bottom flange
haunch at the end of the cropped shape (analogue to the ‘Haunch Head Width’).
|
| Group
|
When checked, top flange, bottom flange and web plate
are arranged to form a group.
|
| Bottom / Top Stiffeners
|
Adds stiffeners to the foot and head points.
- Bottom
Stiffener – When checked, a stiffener is attached to the base point
of the haunch of the support shape.
- Top
Stiffener – When checked, a stiffener is attached to the head point
of the haunch of the connected shape.
You can select a stiffener type in the list displayed here.
Just select a stiffener template, which you previously saved using
(Stiffener) tool.
- When unchecked, the
Edit Style icon is enabled.
 (Edit Style) – Opens
Stiffener dialog used to create a new style or get
one to use in the Haunch.
|
| Length, Width, Angle..
|
Sets
the haunch length, roof pitch, bottom width, head width and offset. A
modification in the input field roof pitch has only an effect if a haunch has
been created without supporting shape. In the input field Cone Width you enter
a width to which the haunch tapers if required.
