Panel stabilizer (114)

Panel stabilizer (114) creates extra stability for a structure when building a beam or a bar to a roof connection. The component adds extension profiles to the haunch connection for extra attachment. Normally, one or more profiles or plates are welded on the cap plate in the haunch connection.

Situation	Description
	Extension profiles are created at the top of a haunch column. The column can be of type H (I) or box. The extension profiles can be of any type. There are no limitations on the position of the column. If the column profile is of type H (I), the cap plate may be sloped only in the direction parallel to the web. If the column is a box profile, the cap plate may be sloped in the direction parallel to either the web or flange. The upper opening of the box profiles can be closed with a cap plate to prevent water from getting inside.

Selection order

Select the main part.
Select the secondary part.

The connection is created automatically when the secondary part is selected.
