Constructors

VerticalBrace()

A builtin steel vertical brace member.

Declaration
public VerticalBrace()

Properties

Configuration

Returns the configuration of doubled material brace.

Declaration
public ToeIO Configuration { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
ToeIO

For doubled material braces, side of gusset as ToeIO. For single materials, use SideOfGusset

Ends

Get both ends in a single list, left then right.

Declaration
public VerticalBraceEndList Ends { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
VerticalBraceEndList

IsAngleLegUp

Determines the orientation of the angle leg

Declaration
public bool IsAngleLegUp { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
bool

IsAutoMaxStitchPlateSpacing

A builtin steel vertical brace member.

Declaration
public bool IsAutoMaxStitchPlateSpacing { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
bool

IsAutoMinGussetThickness

Flag to determine if user specified minimum gusset thickness will be used.

Declaration
public bool IsAutoMinGussetThickness { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
bool

API value should be opposite of the internal value, this is to keep consistency with user input. Internal: 0=checked, 1=unchecked. API: false=unchecked, true=checked.

IsAutoNumberOfStitchPlates

A builtin steel vertical brace member.

Declaration
public bool IsAutoNumberOfStitchPlates { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
bool

IsAutoStitchPlateGap

A builtin steel vertical brace member.

Declaration
public bool IsAutoStitchPlateGap { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
bool

IsBreakApart

Used to determine if connection material not welded to the member main material will be broken apart from the member

Declaration
public bool IsBreakApart { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
bool

true = process and create soilds will break apart member false = process and create solids will combine member material

IsDoubleMaterial

Determines if the brace's material is doubled.

Declaration
public bool IsDoubleMaterial { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
bool

LocateOnNeutralAxis

The behavior of the neutral axis parameter. Only valid for angle material.

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

Automatic applies the choice made to Fabricator Setup > Member Detailing Settings > Horizontal Braces. Yes causes the angle material's X-X asix or Y-Y axis to intersect with the member line of the brace. No instructs connection design to align the gage line of the angle material with the brace's member line.

LongLeg

Long leg value of brace.

Declaration
public LongLeg LongLeg { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
LongLeg

Outstanding bolts the short leg of the angle brace to the gusset plate, with the long leg outstanding. ToGusset bolts the long leg of the angle vertical brace to the gusset plate.

MaxStitchPlateSpacing

A builtin steel vertical brace member.

Declaration
public double MaxStitchPlateSpacing { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
double

MinGussetThickness

User specified minimum gusset thickness.

Declaration
public double MinGussetThickness { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
double

Double in the range of 0-1200. Specifies the minimum thickness a gusset will be allowed to use.

NumberOfStitchPlates

A builtin steel vertical brace member.

Declaration
public double NumberOfStitchPlates { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
double

OneGageLine

Gage line setting. Only applies to angle materials.

Declaration
public bool OneGageLine { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
bool

When true, creates a single column of bolts to connect to the gusset. when false, creates two columns of bolts to connect to the gusset.

Seismic

Sets if the systemcreates seismic connections on the brace.

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

Automatic instructs the system to apply the choice made in Job Setup > Design Settings > Seismic vertical brace gusset design. Yes specifies that the system create a seismic connection on both ends of the brace. No configures the system to create a non-seismic connection.

SideOfGusset

Returns the side of gusset the brace is on

Declaration
public ToeIO SideOfGusset { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
ToeIO

For single material braces, side of gusset as ToeIO. For doubled materials, use Configuration

StaggerBolts

Sets if connection design staggers the bolts that connect the angle to the gusset.

Declaration
public bool StaggerBolts { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
bool

StitchPlateGap

A builtin steel vertical brace member.

Declaration
public double StitchPlateGap { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
double
