ColumnAutoBaseCapPlateSpecification()

Declaration
public ColumnAutoBaseCapPlateSpecification()

Properties

AlignStiffenersWith

Automatic specifies that the system apply a setup choice (Fabricator Setup > Standard Fabricator Connections > Cap Plate Setup > "Align transverse stiffeners with").

Column instructs the system to create transverse beam stiffeners that are parallel with the workline (stick form member line) of the column.

Beam configures the system to create transverse beam stiffeners that are perpendicular to the workline of the beam. The stiffeners are normal to the beam, regardless of the slope of the beam or column.

Declaration
public StiffenerAlignment AlignStiffenersWith { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
StiffenerAlignment

Grade

The grade to set on the new plate material for this connection. This grade should come from the plate grade list in setup.

Declaration
public SteelGrade Grade { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
SteelGrade
Remarks

Setting this fill flip AutoGrade to false

IsAutoGrade

If true, this has the system determine the plate grade for the plate. If false, whatever value is set to Grade will be used.

Declaration
public bool IsAutoGrade { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean

UseExtendedStiffeners

Automatic specifies that the system look at the Fabricator Setup > Standard Fabricator Connections > Extended Flange Plate Setup > "Plate overhang tolerance" to determine whether or not to design a connection. If the setup value is less than or equal to the actual base/cap plate overhang in the model, then a connection will be designed. If the setup value is greater than the overhang, a connection is not designed.

Yes instructs the system to attempt to design flange extension plates and stiffeners. If it is determined that such a connection should not be designed, for example, because of interference with another member, the system locks are populated with null values (e.g. distances of 0) in leaves named " Bottom extension plate" or " Top extension plate" and " Stiffener Plate."

No results in no flange extension plates and beam stiffeners.

Declaration
public AutomaticYesNo UseExtendedStiffeners { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
AutomaticYesNo

UseTransverseBeamStiffener

Whether or not to use a transverse beam stiffener.

Automatic specifies that the system apply a setup choice (Job Setup > Design Settings > "Always provide transverse beam stiffener").

Yes instructs the system to create at least one pair of full-depth transverse beam stiffeners (one on the beam's near side, one far side) regardless of the "Load" on the column. Two pairs of stiffeners are created when the "Load" is sufficiently large. The two pairs of stiffeners align with the flanges of the column. A single pair of stiffeners is centered with respect to the column member line.

No instructs the system to not create a pair of transverse beam stiffeners, even when the column's "Load" is large enough that the beam's web capacity is exceeded. If the system determines that the web capacity of the beam is exceeded, a connection is not designed, and you get the following end connection failure message: "Conn modified by framing situation, see Design Calcs."
