Shear tab plate connection (80)
Shear tab plate connection (80) connects a beam to a column, or a beam to a beam, with a shear tab that is bolted to the secondary part and welded to the main part. It is also possible to create flange stiffeners for beam to column connections and web stiffeners for beam to beam connections.

Horizontal distance from the main part to the first bolt |
|
2 |
Vertical distance from the secondary part upper edge and lower edge to the shear tab upper and lower edge |
|
3 |
Gap between the main part and secondary part By default, the gap value is zero. |
|
4 |
Distance from the secondary part upper and lower edge to the upper and lower flange of the stiffener By default, this distance is zero and the stiffener is created at secondary part upper and lower edge level. |

Tab location |
Tab location in relation to the secondary beam web. Both creates two tab plates, one to the left and another to the right side of the web. The default is Left. |

Tolerance |
Vertical distance between the web stiffener and the main part flanges By default, the tolerance is zero. |
|
Angle |
Define the angle. By default, the angle is zero. |
|
Chamfer type |
Select the chamfer type. No chamfer usually causes a clash between the stiffener and the I profile rounding. |
|
Chamfer X |
Horizontal chamfer dimension For arc chamfers, the horizontal dimension is the radius of the arc. |

Chamfer Y |
Vertical chamfer dimension |
Flange stiffeners
|
Tolerance |
Distance between the flange stiffeners and the main part flanges By default, the tolerance is zero. |
|
Chamfer type |
Select the chamfer type. No chamfer usually causes a clash between the stiffener and the I profile rounding. By default, a line chamfer is created. |
|
Chamfer X |
Horizontal chamfer dimension For arc chamfers, the horizontal dimension is the radius of the arc. |

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.
