Purlin Connection

This function permits the connection of purlin courses to roof girders. Different kinds of connection are possible. The connection can either be carried out as standard bolted connection, as connection with a purlin socket made out of a bent flat steel or by means of a splice or a shape.

The assignments can be managed in a database to allow the selection of the suitable connections for the different shape sizes (e.g. the correct size of a purlin socket). When the command is selected, the specified connections available for selection are offered in a list.

As to how to create the data base, please refer to the technical supplement or ask your ProStructures dealer.
