Use for
| Situation | Description |
|---|---|
|
|
Connection between a column and a rafter |
Limitations
-
Rafter webs must lie in the same vertical plane.
-
If you apply a stay to the haunch, and then modify the haunch profile, the stay position will not be recalculated. In this situation, you also need to modify the cold rolled overlap or sleeved component used in creating the stays. The image below shows an example of this situation.
Selection order
-
Select the main part.
-
Select the secondary part.
The connection is created automatically when the secondary part is selected.

Parts
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
|
End plate |
Thickness and height of the end plate. |
The default thickness for the end plate is based on the section depth of the rafters. For rafter depths of < 400, the thickness is 20 mm, and for depths of < 700, the thickness is 25 mm, otherwise the thickness is 30 mm. The default height is determined from the haunch depth. |
|
Comp stiffener |
Thickness and width of the compression stiffener. |
The default thickness for the compression stiffener is based on the section depth of the rafters. For rafter depths of < 400, the thickness is 20 mm, and for depths of < 700, the default thickness is 25 mm, otherwise the thickness is 30 mm. The default width depends on the flange thickness of the column. |
|
Morris stiffener |
Thickness and width of the Morris stiffener. |
Thickness: 10 mm The default width depends on the flange thickness of the column. |
|
Rib stiffeners |
Thickness, width, and height of the rib stiffener. |
Thickness: 10 mm
The default width of the rib stiffeners is determined from the flange width of the column.
The default length of the rib stiffeners is the rib stiffener width. |
|
Cap plate |
Thickness, width, and height of the cap plate. To create the cap plate, select either the full or partial cap plate creation option on the Parameters tab. |
Thickness: 10 mm
The width is determined from the flange width of the column.
Weld 8 is used for both the cap plate and the Morris stiffener if both are created. |
|
Vert haunch pl |
