This connection makes the connections with a splice in columns and beams.
Location of the Splice Connection Command
You can access it under the Ribbon menu, Connection tab, Connection title.
Usage Steps
If Draw in Fast Mode is Active
Click on Splice Connection from the Connection menu.
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
Click on Splice Connection from the Connection menu.
Click the column then the beam before the 3D perspective view.
The splice connection settings dialog will open.
The connection will occur when the wanted settings are made and the OK button is clicked.
Location of the Splice 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.
Splice Connection Settings Dialog
Type Tab
The splice connection can be selected as welded, bolted or mixed.
Plates Tab
The dimensions of the splice connection can be arranged according to the illustrations in the schematic drawing. If needed, shims can be added to the body and head.
Flange Bolts Tab
Determine the distances between bolts according to the schematic representation given.
Bolt properties: Bolt grade, bolt size and hole properties are set in bolt properties.
Web Bolts Tab
Determine the distances between bolts according to the schematic representation given.
Bolt properties: Bolt grade, bolt size and hole properties are set in bolt properties.
Welds 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.
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".
