L splice (175)
L splice (175) connects two columns or beams that have L profiles using an L splice bolted to both parts. Splice plates can be created at and bolted to the back of the L profiles. Shim plates can be created between the L splice and the L profiles. A gap can be specified between the two L profiles.

Parts
Option | Description |
---|---|
L profile |
Select the profile from the profile catalog. |
Plate 1 (y direction) Plate 2 (z direction) Plate 3 (y direction) Plate 4 (z direction) |
Select the splice plate profile from the profile catalog. |
Filler plate |
Thickness and width of the shim plate |
Filler plate 2 |
Width of the shim plate |
Corner chamfers
Select which corners of the splice plate are chamfered, and define the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the chamfers.
In Offset from heel, define the offset distance from the bottom corner.
Bolts tab
Use the Bolts tab to define the bolt group dimensions and bolt properties.
The two bolt groups on the left side of the dialog box are the main part bolt groups, and those on the right are the secondary part bolts. If you do not define the properties for the secondary part bolts, the properties of the main part bolts are used.
Bolt group dimensions
Description | |
---|---|
1 |
Bolt edge distance. Edge distance is the distance from the center of a bolt to the edge of the part. |
2 |
Number of bolts. |
3 |
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. |
4 |
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 |
Site/Workshop |
Location where the bolts should be attached. |

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. |
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.
Bolt length increase
Define how much the bolt length is increased. Use this option when, for example, painting requires the bolt length to be increased.
