Values
|
- Gap – Sets the
distance between the two selected shapes. A negative value is not permitted.
- Vertical
Offset – Sets the offset distance of the Plate and connecting
shape. If neither of the following options are checked, the distance is
measured from the Plate centerline to the axis center of the connecting shape.
A negative value is not permitted.
- From
Edge – When checked, the vertical offset is measured from the upper
edge of the connecting shape to the upper edge of the plate.
- Lower
Edge – When checked, the vertical offset is measured from the lower
edge of the connecting shape to the lower edge/boring of the plate.
- Up to
First Bolt – When checked, the vertical offset is measured from the
upper edge of the connecting shape to the first boring of the plate.
|
Bolts
|
- Bolt
Type – Sets the bolt type selected from the drop-down list.
- Dia./
Workloose – Sets the hole diameter of the selected bolt from the
drop-down list of bolt diameter table . The second field sets desired clearance
for the bolt connection.
- Additional
Length – Sets the length of the bolt beyond the nut.
- Turn – When
checked, inverts the bolt direction.
- Weld – When
checked, the shapes are welded.
- Inverse
Stagger (appears when staggered bolts are used) – When checked,
inverts the stagger.
|
Shear
|
When checked, inserts Shear Plates into the connection. Enables
shear settings.
|
Normal to Cut Plane
|
When checked, the inserts the Shear Plate perpendicular to the
supporting shape.
|
Thickness
|
Sets the thickness of the Shear Plate.
- Left/
Right / Both – Determines the placement of the Shear Plate(s)
relative to the X axis of the connecting member.
|
Longitudinal Spacing
|
- Number/Slot
Length – Sets the number of bolts to be placed on the X axis. The
second field sets the Sets the slot length.
- Inner
Distance (w1) – Sets the distance from the start of the shape to
the center of the first bolt.
- Inner
Distance (w2) – Sets the distance from the end of the shape to the
center of the last bolt.
- Distance
Between (w3) – Sets the distance between the center of the bolts.
|
Transverse Spacing
|
- Number – Sets
the number of bolts to be placed on the Y axis.
- Edge
Distance (e1) – Sets the distance from the edge of the shape to the
center of the first bolt.
- Distance
Between (e2) – Sets the distance between the center of the bolts.
