Option	Description
	Beam connected to a beam with a bolted shear tab.

Selection order

Select the main part (beam).
Select the secondary part (beam).

The connection is created automatically when the secondary part is selected.

Part identification key


	Description
1	Shear tab
2	Stiffener

Picture tab

Use the Picture tab to define the connection dimensions.

Dimensions


	Description
1	Vertical cut dimension between the main part and the secondary part
2	Horizontal cut dimension between the main part and the secondary part
3	Shear tab edge distance from the main part flange

Check cut size

Use the Allow partial cut in fillet radius (K) option to define whether Tekla Structures checks the size of the secondary part cut.

Parts tab

Use the Parts tab to define the part properties.

Parts


Option	Description
Shear plate	Thickness of the shear tab.
Stiffener plate	Thickness and width of the stiffener.


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.

Parameters tab

Use the Parameters tab to define the shear tab location, beam end cut, and bolt pattern.

Dimensions


	Description
1	Stiffener edge distance to the main part flange.
2	Shear tab horizontal cut dimension.
3	Radius of the shear tab cut.
4	Bolt edge distance to the secondary part edge.

Stiffener offset


	Description
	Stiffener offset from the shear tab along the main part.

Shear tab location


Option	Description
	Default Shear tab is created on the near side. AutoDefaults can change this option.
	Shear tab is created on the near side.
	Shear tab is created on the far side.

Bolt pattern


Option	Description
	Default Bolt pattern matches the beam end. AutoDefaults can change this option.
	Automatic Bolt pattern matches the beam end.
	Bevel pattern
	Square pattern

Notch shape


Option	Description
	Default Square AutoDefaults can change this option.
	Automatic Square Depends on the secondary part angle.
	Square
	Bevel

Beam end cut


Option	Description
	Default Bevel cut AutoDefaults can change this option.
	Automatic Bevel cut The cut matches the beam end.
	Square cut
	No cut

Stiffener creation


Option	Description
	Default Stiffener is not created.
	Stiffener is not created.
	Full size stiffener is created. The inner top corner is chamfered.
	Stiffener size is determined by the shear tab.
	Full size stiffener is created. Both inner corners are chamfered.

Bolts tab

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

Bolt group dimensions


	Description
1	Dimension for horizontal bolt group position.
2	Bolt edge distance. Edge distance is the distance from the center of a bolt to the edge of the part.
3	Number of bolts.
4	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.
5	Dimension for vertical bolt group position.
6	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.

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.	`Site`

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.
