CATALOG NAME: Pourstop v4
TYPE: DETAIL

The version (v4) of this component was first available in v2017. It is included in the v2017 US environment Model Templates and Custom Components folder. This custom component can also be imported and used in v2016 and v2016i.

 

This Custom Component adds a pourstop to the beam as a polybeam. It provides for a correct BOM on the drawings and in reports. It works so the total length is from the start point of the first pourstop to the end point of the last pourstop. You can adjust the setbacks from the beam end points and control the gap between each pourstop.


Parts created

  • Polybeam bent plate(s)
  • End closure plate(s)
  • Welds

1.    Beam

The pourstop can be moved from one side of the beam to the other by adjusting the option list on the Picture tab.

Closure plates can be turned on at the ends of the pourstop by the option lists on the Parts tab.

Enter the maximum length of the plates on the Parts tab – the remaining plate will be shortened as necessary to fit.

If the last plate does not overlap the beam it will appear red in the model.

If your beam has 9 pourstops, the 9th one can be made longer than the maximum length using the right end offset field. When this happens the 9th plate will appear yellow in the model.

Bolts tab

When bolting the pourstops to a beam, if either the left or right ends of the pourstop extend past the end of the beam the overlapping distance of those pourstops are smaller. For these instances you can use the FIRST or LAST controls located at the bottom of the Bolts tab.


Number of Bolts

When the Number of Bolts option is used, the middle field above the option image is used for the number of bolts.

This number will be used in all pourstops, regardless how much overlap there is with the beam.

If you want to control the number of bolts in the first or last pourstop, use the FIRST or LAST fields located at the bottom of the Bolts tab.

These quantities will be used to change the number of bolts used in the first and last pourstop.

Bolt Spacing

When the Bolt Spacing option is used, the right field above the option image is used for the bolt spacing.

This spacing will be used in all pourstops, regardless how much overlap there is with the beam.

If you want to control the bolt spacing in the first or last pourstop, use the FIRST or LAST fields located at the bottom of the Bolts tab.

These distances will be used to change the bolt spacing used in the first and last pourstop.

If you want the FIRST and/or LAST values to again be controlled by the main Bolt Spacing distance or main Number of Bolts, then all you need to do is delete the value in the FIRST or LAST fields and click Modify. This will cause the FIRST and/or bolt group to use the values set at the main level.
