This combination is a column and beam combination. After the column and beam are defined;
With quick drawing mode turned on;
From the Steel menu, click the Single Angle Join line.
In 3D perspective view, move the mouse pointer closer to the element, close to the support
After this process, the virtual image of the combination will appear.
If the combination is suitable, create the combination by clicking the left mouse button.
The combination will occur with default settings.
Quick drawing mode is off;
From the Steel menu, click the Single Angle Join line.
Click the column then the beam before the 3D perspective view.
The combination will occur with default settings.
Double-click the combination to change settings. The unification dialog will open.
Type and Layout Tab
Select the options given in the schematic representation according to the type of connection you want to make.
Gusset Tab
The geometry of the angle used is given or one of the L profiles in the library can be used as a connection element with the Use Section option. If you check the plate geometry option, enter the plate dimensions according to the schematic representation.
Top Notching Tab:
The notching geometry of the upper part of the beam element connected to the column is adjusted.
Bottom Notching Tab:
The notching geometry of the upper 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.
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 Electrode:
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 Inputs
In the design inputs, the plate material and the strength of the welding electrodes are 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 "new plate material". To create the welding electrode, provide the information "Name" and "Strength" in the dialog that opens after clicking "Create New".
