This connection is a steel beam - secondary steel beam connection . After the beams are defined;
With quick drawing mode turned on;
From the Connection menu, click on the Stiffened End 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 on the Stiffened End 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.
General Tab
Give the values according to the schematic figure given.
Stiffener Tab
If a stiffener plate is to be created, check the back stiffener plate option and give the plate thickness.
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.
Bolts Tab
Set the count of bolts and spacing according to the schematic figure 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.
