Constructors

ColumnAutoBaseCapPlateSpecification()

A system designed base or cap plate, connecting to another steel member (generally a beam).

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
bool

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."
