Situation |
Description |
---|---|
|
The angle profile is bolted to the channel and welded to the stringer. The stringer is cut horizontally to the top level of the channel. |
|
No horizontal cut in the stringer. |
|
A vertical plate is created to the end of the stringer. |
Limitations
Stringer to channel (127) works only if the connecting profile is an angle.
Before you start
Create a stringer and a channel.
Selection order
-
Select the main part (a channel).
-
Select the secondary part (a stringer).
The connection is created automatically when the secondary part is selected.

Bolt basic properties
Option |
Description |
Default |
---|---|---|
Bolt size |
Bolt diameter. |
Available sizes are defined in the bolt assembly catalog. |

Slotted holes
You can define slotted, oversized, or tapped holes.
Option |
Description |
Default |
---|---|---|
1 |
Vertical dimension of slotted hole. |
0, which results in a round hole. |
2 |
Horizontal dimension of slotted hole, or allowance for oversized holes. |
0, which results in a round hole. |
Hole type |
Slotted creates slotted holes. Oversized creates oversized or tapped holes. No hole does not create holes. |
|
Rotate Slots |
When the hole type is Slotted, this option rotates the slotted holes. |
|
Slots in |
Part(s) in which slotted holes are created. The options depend on the component in question. |
Bolt assembly
The selected check boxes define which component objects (bolt, washers, and nuts) are used in the bolt assembly.
If you want to create a hole only, clear all the check boxes.
To modify the bolt assembly in an existing component, select the Effect in modify check box and click Modify.
Bolt length increase
Define how much the bolt length is increased. Use this option when, for example, painting requires the bolt length to be increased.
