Bearing plate (7)
Bearing plate (7) connects a beam to a column. A console seat plate welded to the column carries the shear forces. The beam upper flange is bolted to an L profile. The lower flange is bolted to a shim plate.

Beam is connected to a column. The clip angle, shim plate, and console are created. |
Selection order
-
Select the main part (column).
-
Select the secondary part (beam).
The connection is created automatically when the secondary part is selected.

Picture tab
Use the Picture tab to define the connection dimensions.
Dimensions
| Description | Default | |
|---|---|---|
|
1 |
Console seat edge distance from the end plate lower edge.
|
|
|
2 |
Gap between the end plate and the column. |
10 mm |
|
3 |
End plate edge distance from the beam lower edge. Positive values move the end plate lower edge upward and negative values downward. |
End plate lower edge is set to the same position as the beam lower edge. |
|
4 |
End plate edge distance from the beam upper edge. Positive values move the end plate upper edge downward and negative values upward. |
10 mm |
Parts tab
Use the Parts tab to define the part properties.
Parts
| Option | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
Seat |
Thickness, width, and height of the console seat. |
Thickness: 30 mm If the width is left empty, the secondary beam width is used. If the height is left empty, the secondary beam height is used. |
|
End plate |
Thickness and width of the end plate. |
Thickness: Equal to the secondary part web thickness (rounded up to thickness 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and so on). If the width is left empty, the secondary beam width is used. |
|
Fitting plate |
Thickness of the shim plate. |
10 mm |
|
L profile |
Select the profile from the profile catalog. |
L100-6 |
|
L seat |
Select the profile from the profile catalog. An angle console can be created under the end plate. When an L console is used, the shim plate and the console seat plate are not created. |
Parameters tab
Use the Parameters to control the end plate gap size.
Gap size
Define the limit value for the gap between the end plate and the secondary beam. Use this when the beam is slightly curved or sloped to decide if the end angle is so small that the beam end can be straight.
If the actual gap is smaller than this value, the end of the beam is left straight.
If the actual gap is larger than this value, the end of the beam is fitted to the end plate.
Console Blt tab
Use the Console Blt tab to define the bolt group dimensions and bolt properties of the console seat plate.
Bolt group dimensions
| Description | |
|---|---|
|
1 |
Dimension for horizontal bolt group position. |
|
2 |
Bolt edge distance. Edge distance is the distance from the center of a bolt to the edge of the part. |
|
3 |
Number of bolts. |
|
4 |
Bolt spacing. Use a space to separate bolt spacing values. Enter a value for each space between bolts. For example, if there are 3 bolts, enter 2 values. |
Bolt basic properties
|
Option |
Description |
Default |
|---|---|---|
|
Bolt size |
Bolt diameter. |
Available sizes are defined in the bolt assembly catalog. |
|
Bolt standard |
Bolt standard to be used inside the component. |
Available standards are defined in the bolt assembly catalog. |
|
Tolerance |
Gap between the bolt and the hole. |
|
|
Thread in mat |
Defines whether the thread may be within the bolted parts when bolts are used with a shaft. This has no effect when full-threaded bolts are used. |
Yes |
|
Site/Workshop |
Location where the bolts should be attached. |

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 holes. No hole does not create holes. Tapped creates tapped 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.
