1

Distance between the shear tab and the main part flanges.

By default, the distance is 0.

2

Horizontal chamfer dimension.

3

Vertical chamfer dimension.

4

Horizontal distance between the main part and secondary part.

5

Distance between the main part center line and the first bolt.

Tab plate

Thickness of the shear tab.

10 mm

Web stiffener

Thickness, width, and height of the web stiffener.

Enter the stiffener thickness to create the stiffener.

Web stiffener is not created.

Tab location

Define the shear tab location in relation to the secondary beam.

The option Both creates two shear tabs, one to the left side of the beam web and another to the right side of the web.

The default value is Left.

Tab plate chamfer

• No does not create a chamfer.

  Note that using this option usually causes a clash between the stiffener and I profile rounding.

• Line creates a line chamfer. Line is the default value.

• Arc1 creates a convex arc chamfer.

• Arc2 creates a concave arc chamfer.

Beam cut

• Beveled cuts the beam perpendicular to the beam axis.

  Beveled is the default value.

• Square cuts the secondary part square to the main part.

Opposite web stiffener

Height

• Full creates the stiffener height equal to the distance between the main part flanges.

  Full is the default option.

• Partial cuts the stiffener at the shear tab lower edge level.

• Half creates the stiffener height equal to the partial height + 0.5*(Full - Partial).

Tolerance

Vertical distance between the web stiffener and main part flanges.

By default, this tolerance is zero.

Angle

By default, the angle is zero.

Chamfer type

• No does not create a chamfer.

  Note that using this option usually causes a clash between the stiffener and I profile rounding.

• Line creates a line chamfer. Line is the default value.

• Arc1 creates a convex arc chamfer.

• Arc2 creates a concave arc chamfer.

Chamfer X, Chamfer Y

Define the horizontal and vertical chamfer dimensions.

With arc type chamfers, Chamfer X defines the radius and Chamfer Y is not used.

Opposite flange stiffeners

Direction

Select the stiffener direction.

Tolerance

Vertical distance between the web stiffener and main part flanges.

Chamfer type

• No does not create a chamfer.

  Note that using this option usually causes a clash between the stiffener and I profile rounding.

• Line creates a line chamfer. Line is the default value.

• Arc1 creates a convex arc chamfer.

• Arc2 creates a concave arc chamfer.

Chamfer X, Chamfer Y

Define the horizontal and vertical chamfer dimensions.

With arc type chamfers, Chamfer X defines the radius and Chamfer Y is not used.
