| Layout and position
|
Sets the layout for the rod bracing:
- Tension rod with cam
- Turnbuckle
- Tension rod
Note: The settings differ based on the layout currently set.
|
| Tension Rod with Cam.
|
A bracing with a traversing tension rod is
generated. The shapes connected with the bracing are penetrated and fastened in
the back with a tension element
- Offset – Sets
the projection of the tension rod beyond the shape.
- Hole
Dia. – Sets the diameter of the oblong hole to be drilled.
- Slot
length – Sets the length of the oblong hole to be drilled.
- Width /
Thickness / Radius – Sets the width, thickness and radius
dimensions, respectively for the connection calotte.
- Create
Cam
– When set, the tension element is generated and
displayed. The dimensions of the tension element can be specified in the input
fields Width, Thickness and Radius.
|
| Turnbuckle
|
A bracing with two tension rods joined by a tension
element is generated. A butt strap is welded to the end of the tension rod,
which is used to connect to the shapes via a gusset plate.
- Spline
Type – Sets the form of spline plate and the connection between
tension rod and spline plate.
- Sliced – Strap
receives a slit and welds the tension rod to the center.
- Welded – Welds
the tension rod to the strap.
- Butt
Strap Length
– Sets the length of the strap.
- Butt
Strap Width
– Sets the width of the strap.
- Butt
Strap Thickness
– Sets the plate thickness of the strap.
- Length – Sets
the length of the turnbuckle per rod.
- Offset
– Sets the distance by how much the tension rod
and the butt strap are overlapping.
- Dia. – Sets the
diameter of the tension element.
- Distance
– Sets the distance of the tension element from
the outer end of the bar. A
0 value places the element in the center
of the corresponding bracing segment.
- Offset – Sets
the length of the projection between bracing rod end against spline plate.
- Gap – Sets the
gap between the cut out butt strap and the tension rod for production
tolerances. Enabled for 'Sliced'
Spline Types.
|
| Tension Rod
|
A bracing with a tension rod is generated, which has
a welded on connection element.
- Butt
Strap Length
– Sets the length of the connection element.
- Butt
Strap Width
– Sets the width of the connection element.
- Butt
Strap Thickness
– Sets the thickness of the connection element.
- Bolt
Diameter
– Sets the bolt hole diameter in the connection
element.
- Bolt
Diameter
– Sets the outer radius of the connection element.
