| Option | Description | Default | Other | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stays on (None, Both, Right, Left) | This allows the user to define whether they want rafter stays or not, and to place them on only one side of the rafter/stanchion if required. You may wish to include both rafter stays at an overhang in order to allow for future extensions. Left and right are specified from the cleat side as shown in image. | The default is set to None, rafter stays are turned off. | Image
| ||||
| Stays Horiz Dimension | This sets the position of the stay bolt along the purlin, measured from the centre of the cleat. | The default position is included in the data files and may be the same as a hole used for another purpose (e.g. sleeve). However, if a value is entered here, then completely separate bolt will be defined even if it coincides with another hole. | |||||
| Stay Plate Horiz Bolt Pos | This sets the position of the bolt from the edge of the stay plate or cleat. | This value will come from the data files. | Image
| ||||
| Stay Plate Vertical Bolt Pos | This sets the position of the bolt from the end of the stay plate or cleat. | This value will come from the data files. | Image
| ||||
| Bolt dist from end of L prof. | This currently has no effect. | ||||||
| Stay Plate Chamfer Dimension | This specifies the chamfer that should be applied to the stay plates defined by the joint. | The default setting is 20mm. | |||||
| Stay Cleat Bolt diameter | Where the stay is connected to a cleat, this field specifies the diameter for the bolt connecting the cleat to the rafter/column. Where the stay is connected to a plate and welded to a rafter/column, this field is only relevant if several bolt diameters are applicable to any one stay profile – usually the fabricator’s own. This has to be set up in one of the cold rolled data files before running the joint – contact Tekla Structures support for assistance. | This value will come from the data files. | |||||
| Stay to (Haunch, Rafter) | This determines where the stays should be positioned if the joint is applied above a haunch. If this is set to haunch the stays will be attached to the haunch otherwise they will be positioned to go to the rafter. WARNING (see images): If the stay is applied to the haunch and the haunch profile is subsequently modified the stays position will not be re-calculated. This can be resolved by modifying the cold rolled sleeved joint using it’s existing parameters. NOTE: The haunch must be part of the system haunch connection typically using components 40 or 102. | The default is set to Haunch. |
