L splice (175)

L splice (175) connects two columns or beams that have L profiles using an L splice bolted to both parts. Splice plates can be created at and bolted to the back of the L profiles. Shim plates can be created between the L splice and the L profiles. A gap can be specified between the two L profiles.

Situation	Description
	Beams connected with L splice. Splice plates are created.

Selection order

Select the main part.
Select the secondary part.

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

Part identification key


	Description
1	L splice
2	Splice plate

Picture tab

Use the Picture tab to define the distance between the main and secondary part, and the chamfer dimensions.

Dimensions


	Description
1	Distance between the main part and the secondary part


	Description
1	Vertical chamfer dimension for the L splice chamfer
2	Horizontal chamfer dimension for the L splice chamfer

Parts tab

Use the Parts tab to define the part properties.

Parts


Option	Description
L profile	Select the profile from the profile catalog.
Plate 1 (y direction) Plate 2 (z direction) Plate 3 (y direction) Plate 4 (z direction)	Select the splice plate profile from the profile catalog.
Filler plate	Thickness and width of the shim plate
Filler plate 2	Width of the shim plate

Corner chamfers

Select which corners of the splice plate are chamfered, and define the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the chamfers.

In Offset from heel, define the offset distance from the bottom corner.

Bolts tab

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

The two bolt groups on the left side of the dialog box are the main part bolt groups, and those on the right are the secondary part bolts. If you do not define the properties for the secondary part bolts, the properties of the main part bolts are used.

Bolt group dimensions


	Description
1	Bolt edge distance. Edge distance is the distance from the center of a bolt to the edge of the part.
2	Number of bolts.
3	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.
4	Define which bolts are deleted from the bolt group. Enter the bolt numbers of the bolts to be deleted and separate the numbers with a space. Bolt numbers run from left to right and from top to bottom.

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.
