This connection is a column and beam connection.
Location of the Single Angle 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 Angle 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 Angle Connection icon.
Click the column then the beam before the 3D perspective view.
The single angle 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 Angle 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.

Connection to beam  Bolted or welded connection types are selected for the beam connection. |
Plates  It is chosen whether the plate will be on the left or right of the beam body. |
Orientation  One of the angled or straight options is chosen for the connection orientation. |
Placement  Placement values are entered. The values to be entered are shown in the schematic drawing. |
Schematic drawing  Connection and placement values are shown on the schematic drawing. |
Preview  There is a preview of the connection. The selection made and the entered values can be followed simultaneously in the preview. |
Angle Tab
Specifications |
|---|
Define plate geometry  If the option is selected, it is determined by entering the angle values. The values to be entered are shown in the schematic drawing. |
Use section  By selecting the option, one of the ready-made L profiles is selected from the list as an angle bracket. By clicking on the load section button, you can reach the ready section library and reach the list of American and European finished rolling sections and select from the list. |
Length  Angle length value is entered. |
Schematic drawing  Connection and plate values are shown on the schematic drawing. |
Preview There is a preview of the connection. The selection made and the entered values can be followed simultaneously in the preview. |
Top Notch Tab
The notch geometry of the top of the beam element connected to the column is adjusted.
Bottom Notch Tab
The notch geometry of the bottom part of the beam element connected to the column is adjusted.
Support Bolts Tab
The properties of the bolts connecting the plate to the column are adjusted. The tab can be seen when the option with bolt to the support is selected from the type and layout tab.
Beam Bolts Tab
The properties of the bolts connecting the plate to the column are adjusted. The tab can be seen when the option with bolt to the support is selected from the type and layout tab.
Weldings Tab
The weld properties of the connections given in the schematic representation are set in the Welds tab. Give the size, type, angle values and mark the option whether to weld under construction site conditions.
Weld Electrode
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.
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".
