Joint Tips and Tricks

Joint Tips and Tricks

When applying a joint that you are unfamiliar with, accept the default settings and apply the
joint. Then look to see what needs to be modified. This is quicker than trying to set the values
for the joint before seeing what the joint actually creates. Incorrect values in some fields of the
joints can cause the joint to be red or to not be created at all.
If the joint does not create the parts that you require by default, for example stiffener plates,
first look for a switch to turn them on.

If a switch cannot be found, try placing a value in the field for the part thickness.

Likewise, if parts are created that are not wanted, first look for the switch to turn them off. If no
switch exists in the joint, place a value of zero (0) in the thickness field for that part.
Some joints and macros require that the profiles to be created by the joint are specified. If the
joint is not created or turns red, try entering a legitimate profile in the appropriate location.
If you have difficulty applying a joint and it seems as though nothing is happening. Watch your
prompts. You may need to click the middle mouse button to terminate the part selection
process. If you are applying a joint that only allows for one secondary member, you may see
the message "Many parts found". This means that Xsteel cannot determine which parts to
make the joint to. Either you have multiple parts in the same location or you depth settings for
the view are too deep.

Joint Tips and Tricks

On the Bolts Tab of the joint, whenever you see a small field in front of a longer field,
the small field is the number of bolts and the longer field is the spacing between bolts.

A bitmap in a pull-down menu with two arrows rotating around each other
represents the default setting. If Autodefaults is not being used the joint will be made with the
hard-coded default settings. If Autodefaults is being used, the value in the joint attribute that is
to be applied for a particular situation is used.

A bitmap in a pull-down menu with an "A"

represents the automatic setting.
Xsteel will try to pick the best option for this setting when applying the joint.
For instance, when the automatic setting is used to define bolt placement in the leg of an angle
brace. The bolts will be put on the centerline. When the default setting is used, the bolts will
be placed at the usual gage line for that size angle.
At the top of every joint page is a button that allows the user to initiate the last joint used.

Most of the joints provide clues as to how the joint has to be applied. On the Picture tab of the
joint you will usually see a bitmap representation of the joint. In the bitmap you should see a
joint symbol that shows which direction the joint needs to point with respect to the primary
member.

If the joint requires more than one secondary member to be chosen, you will also find a bitmap
showing the picking order.

Toolbar Organization
The contents of the toolbars have been divided so that similar items are grouped on the same
toolbar. The grouping is as follows (presented in toolbar order from 1 to 13):
1. Connections used in intermediate floor constructions (end plate, shear plate, clip angle
etc.)
2. Same as no 1
3. Notching
4. Gussets, bracings
5. Details
6. Accessories
7. Connections used in roof constructions (seatings, purlins, etc.)

Note:
To make a clip angle type splice
connection it is necessary to create a
"dummy" primary part to bolt through. The
beams to be spliced will be the secondary
members.
Make the "dummy" plate 1/8" thick with
special properties so that it can be filtered
out when making drawings. Use the
settings shown below on the Picture tab.
