Hello,

Ref. moment connections macros beam to beam, and moment flange plates, also-shear plate connection-

  1. Shear Plate as a part of an overall moment connection:

Shear Plate needs 2 separate values for GAP TO TOP OR BOTTOM flanges-As it is done-it does not work-it does not allow to be welded to the bottom moment plate

  1. Shim plates at bottom flange-These have to stop at beam’s end to allow shear plates to be welded to the moment plates.
  2. Amount for gap between Main Beam and Secondary beam can be different at top flange, bottom flange and web-please see top flange bevel at cap plate-this is done now manually, it is not intelligent.
  3. Backing bars do not align with columns when angle is different than 90 degrees. Backing bar length has to be beams flange +1” min. It is never same as beam’s flange width.
  4. When moment connection in Case 1 is at roof level-TOP MOMENT PLATE SERVES ALSO AS A CAP PLATE-this is very important, values of width and partial length at column to be referenced as PROJECTIONS from the column. Currently this is done by using two separate macros for top and bottom.

6. TYPICAL FOR ALL MOMENT PLATES-Please make ALL Default bolts spacing along x-line to start from beam's end at the physical end.

 

The shear plate macro and the moment macros need an overhaul.

 

And yes-I know this can be done with custom connections, currently I am building and re-using over different projects, but even with a custom templates there is significant time spent to modify after inserted in the model.

  

Please do not hesitate to contact if you should have any questions or suggestions.

 

Thank you,

Ref. Screen shot 1: This is a classic case of having bottom plate welded to column, and top moment plate serves as a cap plate for 1-4 beams.

 

Ref. Screen shot 1a: This is a case that is even more popular than case 1-flange plates are passing through the column, and may serve as cap plates on top for 1-4 beams. The piece of HSS that remains between the moment plates and the column for itself can be beveled at 45 degrees for PJP.

 

Ref. Screen shot 2: Bolted moment 1 Beam to Main beam-bolts on main beam to be at gauge lines, shims as required.

 

Ref. Screen shot 3: 2 Beams Bolted at Main Beam, shims as required if depth is different, all bolts at gauge lines (including at main beam).

 

The macros at columns have to include 1 through 4 beams option, with shim plates option.

 

These 4 macros are not done in Advance Steel, they are used in almost every structural project, and need to be developed.

 

I have done all of them as custom templates for columns HSS4x4 to HSS10x10, and for all W-sizes being intelligent, but even with custom templates being used-there is a significant time required to adjust per current project, and having the start or end of beam factor.

Distance between column and backing bar varies (in 99% of all connections) for top and bottom flange-please make this available by default, currently we explode or copy the backing bars and remove them in the  macro.
