This connection is a column-beam connection.
Location of the Single Plate Connection Command
You can access it under the Ribbon menu, Connection tab, Connection title.
Usage Steps
If Draw in Fast Mode is Active
From the Connection menu, click the Single Plate Connection icon.
In 3D perspective view, move the mouse pointer closer to the element, close to the support
After this process, the virtual image of the connection will appear.
If the connection is suitable, create the connection by clicking the left mouse button.
The connection will occur with default settings.
If Draw in Fast Mode is Inactive
From the Connection menu, click the Single Plate Connection icon.
Click the column then the beam before the 3D perspective view.
The single plate connection settings dialog will open.
The connection will occur when the wanted settings are made and the OK button is clicked.
Location of the Single Plate Connection Settings Dialog
If the draw in fast mode is active, the connection settings will be opened automatically.
If the draw in fast mode is inactive, select the connection and click the right mouse button. Click the Properties line from the right click menu that opens.
Single Plate Connection Settings Dialog
Select the options given in the schematic representation according to the type of connection you want to make.
Type Tab
There is a choice of whether the plate will be formed on the left or right side of the beam body.
Plates Tab
Set the plate properties according to the schematic information provided.
Top/Bottom Notch Tabs
Beam Bolts Tab
The properties of the bolts connecting the plate to the beam are adjusted.
Bolt properties: Bolt grade, bolt size and hole properties are set in bolt properties.
Resources Tab
The source properties of the joints given in the schematic representation are set in the Resources tab. Give the thickness, type, angle values and mark the option whether to weld under construction site conditions.
Welding geometry is determined automatically by the program. These properties can be changed to easily determine the joint properties. Geometry features are in accordance with industry standards and in the form specified in AISC.
Design Data Tab
In the design data, the plate material is defined. The condition that the main element in the weld joint has less strength than the weld strength is controlled.
If necessary, click the list and define "Create New…". To create the welding electrode, give the information "Name" and "Strength" in the dialog that opens after clicking "Create New".
