The Metsec Eaves Beam to Stanchion macro can be used to define a fixing bracket between a column and either one or two Metsec eaves beams. The joint will define all bolts and welds required, and where appropriate will also fit the ends of the eaves beams to leave the correct end gap.

Notes

  • Any modification of the selected parts will cause this joint to be updated
  • If countersunk bolts are specified a packing plate will be fitted between the fixing bracket and the eaves beam
  • At a gable or corner, the user must have already defined a short eaves beam to act as a stub if required
  • Secondaries selected must be perpendicular to the stanchion
  • Both secondaries should have identical profiles
  • The connection can go to the web or flange
  • When connection is applied the default connecting profile is always an L100*67*8, this can be overwritten in the Parts tab.
  • This connection will always place a hole in the bottom flange to make orienting the profile easier when the top flange is flat.
