Welds  The thickness, type and angle values of the welds to be made at the connections are given. The information on whether it will be done on the construction site or not is entered. |
Weld electrode  The strengths of the welding electrodes are defined in the design inputs. The strength of the main element in the weld connection is controlled under the condition that it has less strength than the weld strength. To create the welding electrode, provide the information "Name" and "Weld metal tensile strength" in the dialog that opens after clicking "Create New". Welding geometry is determined automatically by the program. These properties can be changed to easily determine the connection properties. Geometry features are in accordance with industry standards and in the form specified in AISC |
