Parameters tab

Use the Parameters tab to control the component used inside Web stiffened base plate (1016).

Using additional components

You can use additional system or custom components to modify the column end or the base plate. For example, you can create special backing plates, weld preparations, and weld access holes for the column end.

If you use additional system or custom components, you need to manage the column end or the base plate properties in the additional component in question. When using several components, there may be multiple welds and cuts.


Part	Description
Component	Select a system or a custom component from the Applications & components catalog.
Attributes	Select an attribute file for the component.
Input	Define to which parts the selected component is applied. Default is same as Base + Column. Column sets the column as the main part. Use this option for details. Column + Base sets the column as the main part and the base plate as the secondary part. Base + Column sets the base plate as the main part and the column as the secondary part. Base set the base plate as the main part.

Bolts tab
