         An entry of '0' (zero) prevents the system from using compression
         in its calculations for the design of the connection on this end
         of the beam.

         A non-zero load will be combined with the "Compression load"
         entered to the "Gusset Interface Forces" column for use in the
         design of a clip angle or end plate or shear thru plate or
         single-plate shear (shear tab) connection. Before entering a
         load, see the warning.

MinimumCopeDepth

Automatic specifies that the system create the connection on this end of the beam based on the choice made to Fabricator Setup > Member Detailing Settings > the "Beams" section > "Provide minimum cope depth."

        Yes instructs the system to ignore the k distance of the
        supporting member when calculating the depth of the cope. This
        will provide a cope of minimum depth.

        No configures the system to cope the supported beam so
        that it clears the k distance of the supporting member.

Declaration

public AutomaticYesNo MinimumCopeDepth { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
AutomaticYesNo

MinimumSetupConnection

If all loads are set to auto, then the auto loads will match the capacity of the connection instead of the allowable loads

Declaration

public AutomaticYesNo MinimumSetupConnection { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
AutomaticYesNo

MomentLoad

The moment entered here is used in the design of the connection on this end of the beam if " Moment" settings have been applied. This option is disabled (grayed-out) when the "Moment type" for this end is set to 'Non-moment,' unless the "User defined connection" for this end is a moment connection, for which case this field is enabled (editable). For moment splice plates, connection design attempts to synchronize the moment load on each of the two beams being spliced so that each load is the same value. If one beam has an 'Auto' moment load and the other beam has a user-entered moment load, the load on both beam are set equal to the user-entered "Moment load." If both beams have user-entered moment loads and those loads are not the same, the connection fails.

Declaration

public double MomentLoad { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

Remarks

This can always be read, but can only be set if AutoMomentLoad is false.

NonMomentBoltDiameter

The diameter of bolts to use when there is no moment

Declaration

public double NonMomentBoltDiameter { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

NonMomentBoltTypeToSupported

The type of bolt to use, when there is no moment, to fasten connection material to this (the supported) member

Declaration

public BoltType NonMomentBoltTypeToSupported { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
BoltType

NonMomentBoltTypeToSupporting

The type of bolt to use, when there is no moment, to fasten connection material to the supporting member.

Declaration

public BoltType NonMomentBoltTypeToSupporting { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
BoltType

PanelMomentLoad

If true, panel moment load is determined by this system. Only applies to seismic frame members. If it is not seismic, the moment load and panel moment load are the same. When framing to another beam, this value will be 0. If it is a standard moment connection to a column, this value is disabled, and the panel moment load is the same as the moment load.

Declaration

public double PanelMomentLoad { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

Remarks

This can always be read, but can only be set if AutoPanelMomentLoad is false.

ShearLoad

The shear end reaction entered here -- under " Loads" -- will be combined with the "Shear load" entered to the "Gusset Interface Forces" column and then will used in the design of the "System designed connection" on this end of the beam.

Declaration

public double ShearLoad { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

Remarks

This can always be read, but can only be set if AutoShearLoad is false.

         For beam splices, connection design attempts to synchronize the
         shear load on each of the two beams being spliced so that each
         load is the same value. If one beam has an 'Auto' shear load and
         the other beam has a user-entered shear load, the load on both
         beam are set equal to the user-entered "Shear load."  If both
         beams have user-entered shear loads and those loads are not the
         same, the connection fails.

StoryShearLoad

only valid for moment connections.

         An entry of '0' (zero) prevents the system from using story load
         in its calculations for moment connections on this end of the
         beam.

         A non-zero applies to the design of the connection on this end of
         a beam if this end of the beam frames to a column flange and "
         Moment" options have been applied.

Declaration

public double StoryShearLoad { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

TensionLoad

A tension load tends to stretch a member in the direction of its length.

         An entry of '0' (zero) prevents the system from using tension in
         its calculations for the design of the connection on this end of
         the beam.

         A non-zero load will be combined with the "Tension load" entered
         to the "Gusset Interface Forces" column for use in the design of
         a clip angle or end plate or shear thru plate or single-plate
         shear (shear tab) connection. Before entering a load, see the
         warning.

Declaration

public double TensionLoad { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

TieForce

This " Loads" option is available for most "Connection design methods."

         An entry of '0' (zero) prevents the system from using the tying
         force to check the structural integrity of the connection on this
         end of the beam.

         A non-zero load instructs connection design to use this tying
         force to check the structural integrity of the connection on this
         end of the beam, as required by Section 1615 of the International
         Building Code (2015) for high-rise buildings.

Declaration

public double TieForce { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

Remarks

This can always be read, but can only be set if AutoTieForce is false.

UseMiscPlatesList

If true, the sytem looks to the appropriate section in Fabricator Setup > Standard Fabricator Connections > Plates to determine the plate thicknesses to be used for end plates, shear plates, beam web doublers, column web doubler plates for moment connections, column stiffeners for moment connections, flange plates for bolted or welded moment connections, plates used for extended tees, web extension plates for extended clip angles, bent plates, plate seats, stiffeners for angle seats and splice plates. First the system calculates the thickness of the plate required to stand up to the load, then it chooses a plate from the list that is the calculated required thickness or the next thicker. If the plate from the list results in material interferences or too narrow a clearance or a thickness outside of AISC guidelines, the system fails the connection and gives you the failure message, "Suitable plate thickness not found."

        If false, the system rounds the calculated required thickness of
        plates as based on the load to the next 1/16 inch (or 1/8 inch if
        the calculated required thickness is greater than 5/16 inch).
