Plate Funnels

Besides standard plate funnel and platform tools,ProStructures provides an enhanced plate funnel, that has the below features:
  • Chutes placed under UCS
  • Liner plates (if selected) are also added to vertical walls of a chute
  • Liner plates can be added with different offsets for top, bottom, and side
  • Chute top and bottom flanges can be generated as a single plate
  • Chute wall stiffeners can be added (generated orthogonal to the conus of the chute)
  • Linear plates added in the entrance and outfall of the chute
  • Local direction (position) of the liner plates are changed automatically (used in NC or DXF data).
