Stringer cut (1023)

Stringer cut (1023) cuts a beam at a picked point and creates an angle cleat profile.

Objects created


Situation	Description
	Angle cleat profile created at a point picked on a beam

Select a beam.

You can select multiple beams using area selection.
Pick a position on the beam.

The detail is created automatically when you pick the position.


	Description
1	Angle cleat profile
2	Nose plate

Use the Picture tab to control the geometry of the detail.


	Description
1	Horizontal distance between the picked point and the vertical cut edge. By default, the distance is zero.
2	Nose plate top position as a vertical distance from the cut beam edge. By default, the distance is zero.
3	Vertical cut height.
4	Vertical distance between the angle cleat bottom position and the beam edge. By default, the distance is zero.
5	Horizontal distance between the beam edge and the angle cleat profile center line. By default, the distance is zero.


Option	Description
	Default Beam end is cut. AutoDefaults can change this option.
	Beam end is cut.
	Beam end is not cut.

Use the Parts tab to define the part properties.


Option	Description	Default
Nose plate	Thickness, width, and height of the nose plate. Nose plate is created if you define the thickness, otherwise the plate is not created.	By default, the size of the nose plate is equal to the size of the vertical cut.
Angle cleat profile	Select the profile from the profile catalog.	The length of the angle cleat is defined by the bolt group and bolt edge distances. By default, the profile is `L10010010`.


Option	Description	Default
Pos_No	Prefix and start number for the part position number. Some components have a second row of fields where you can enter the assembly position number.	The default part start number is defined in the Components settings in File menu > Settings > Options.
Material	Material grade.	The default material is defined in the Part material box in the Components settings in File menu > Settings > Options.
Name	Name that is shown in drawings and reports.

Use the Bolts tab to define the bolt group dimensions and bolt properties.


	Description
1	Dimension for horizontal bolt group position.
2	Select how to measure the dimensions for horizontal bolt group position. Left: From the left edge of the secondary part to the leftmost bolt. Middle: From the center line of the secondary part to the center line of the bolts. Right: From the right edge of the secondary part to the rightmost bolt.
3	Bolt edge distance. Edge distance is the distance from the center of a bolt to the edge of the part.
4	Number of bolts.
5	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.
6	Dimension for vertical bolt group position.
7	Select how to measure the dimensions for vertical bolt group position. Top: From the upper edge of the secondary part to the uppermost bolt. Middle: From the center line of the bolts to the center line of the secondary part. Below: From the lower edge of the secondary part to the lowest bolt.


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.	`Site`

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.
