Welded shear plate (43) |
You can now use weld 7 between the shear tab and the secondary part. |
Brace corner tubes and pl (44) |
Weld creation has been changed and new welds have been added.
|
Corner tube gusset (56) |
Weld creation has been changed in the following way:
|
Wraparound gusset (58) |
You can now define a clearance between the connection plates/clip angles and the gusset plate on the Gusset tab. |
H&V Shear Pl (64) |
You can now create plate washers using the options on the Parts tab. |
Shear plate built-up T (69) |
You now control the creation of haunch plates on the Parameters tab, and define the haunch plate properties on the Parts tab. |
Splice connection (77) |
You can now define a different number of bolts and different spacings between the bolts for the main and secondary web and flange bolts. |
Extend full depth tab (82) |
You can now define the tab plate name on the Parts tab. |
Batten plates (S85) |
On the Picture tab, you can now define equal distribution of batten plate spacing on both sides of the input point. |
Bolted moment connection (134) |
On the Flange Blt tab, you can now define if slotted holes are included for deck fill and loose fill plates. |
Clip angle (141) Two sided clip angle (143) |
On the Parts tab, you can now define the center of the bolt gage line from the back of the secondary part web. You can use this option when the secondary part has a C or U profile. |
Shear plate simple (146) |
You can now define the size of the gap between the main part web and the stiffener on the Stiffeners tab. |
Base plate (1004) |
On the Parameters tab, you can now define that two grout holes are created in the base plate. |
