This connection is a column-beam or beam-beam connection. After the column and beam are defined;
With quick drawing mode turned on;
From the Connection menu, click the T 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.
Quick drawing mode is off;
From the Connection menu, click the T Plate Connection icon.
Click the column then the beam before the 3D perspective view.
The connection will occur with default settings.
Double-click the connection to change settings. The connection dialog will open.
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 and Bottom Notch Tabs
Chamfers Tab
For easy assembly of the plates in the field, the use of slope, slope type and geometric properties are determined in the connection settings dialog.
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.
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 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.
If necessary, click the list and define "Create New…". To create the plate material, give the information "Name" and "Strength" in the dialog that opens after clicking "Create New".
