Parts


Option	Description
Stiffener	Thickness, width, and length of the stiffener.
Connecting profile	Thickness, width, and length of the shear tab.


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.
Class	Part class number.

Parameters tab

Use the Parameters tab to define the shear tab chamfers, chamfer type, stanchion position, connection location, and stiffener type.

Shear tab chamfers


	Description
1	Horizontal dimension of the shear tab chamfer.
2	Vertical dimension of the shear tab chamfer.
3	Horizontal dimension of the shear tab exterior chamfer.
4	Vertical dimension of the shear tab exterior chamfer.

Chamfer type


Option	Description
	Default Line chamfer AutoDefaults can change this option.
	No chamfer
	Line chamfer
	Convex arc chamfer
	Concave arc chamfer

Stanchion position


Option	Description
	Default Stanchion is created on the centerline of the shear tab. AutoDefaults can change this option.
	Stanchion is created to the left side of the shear tab.
	The stanchion is created on the centerline of the shear tab.
	The stanchion is created to the right side of the shear tab.

Connection location


Option	Description
	Default Shear tab is located on the right side of the stiffener plate. AutoDefaults can change this option.
	Shear tab is located on the right side of the stiffener plate.
	Shear tab is located on the left side of the stiffener plate.

Stiffener type


Option	Description
	Default Full depth stiffener plate is attached to the stringer. AutoDefaults can change this option.
	Full depth stiffener plate is attached to the stringer.
	Simple shear tab is attached to the stringer.

Bolts tab

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

Bolt group dimensions


	Description
1	Dimension for vertical bolt group position.
2	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.
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	Define which bolts are deleted from the bolt group. Enter the bolt numbers of the bolts to be deleted and separate the numbers with a space. Bolt numbers run from left to right and from top to bottom.

Bolt basic properties


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`

Slotted holes

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.
