Parallel L profiles (176)

Parallel L profiles (176) bolts together two L profiles that are connected from end to end, overlap at one end, or that are separated with a gap.

Objects created


Situation	Description
	Parts are fitted to create an overlap that is bolted. Two bolt groups are created, one to the upper part of the L profile and another to the lower part of the L profile. Note: To ensure that the connection works well, the L profiles must not collide with each other in the model. Therefore, the other profile should be moved up exactly by the thickness of the L profile.

Select the main part.
Select the secondary part.

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


	Description
1	Bolts

Use the Picture tab to define the overlap length and the chamfer dimensions.


	Description
1	Overlap length


	Description
1	Horizontal chamfer dimension
2	Vertical chamfer dimension

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


	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	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.
In Delete	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.


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`

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.
