Wiele komponentów obejmuje wstawianie płyt; na przykład Blacha czołowa , Blacha środnika , Blacha łącząca itp. You can also insert a plate as a separate component, for example, acting as a cap plate of a column, a stiffener of an open section, or a gusset plate on which you connect a member using the Connecting Plate component. In the image below, you can see a cap plate and a gusset plate.
element
In the first category of the "Component Settings", the dimensions of the plate and its material are to be defined. You can select from the existing materials or define a new one.
Pozycja
The next category controls the positioning of the plate in the joint.
Początek
Select the "Origin" component that the displacements and rotations of the plate are to be related to.
The default setting is Joint, meaning the origin of the whole joint. You can also select a Member, Member Plate, another Plate, an Auxiliary Plane or Auxiliary Solid as the reference component. Based on the coordinate system of that component, you can move and rotate the plate to adjust its arrangement.
Origin alignment
This option is available when a member is defined as the origin. You can select the reference point of the cross-section where the plate is to be attached.
There are two lists with three options each.
Środek | The center of the plate refers to the centroid of the cross-section. |
Góra | The center of the plate refers to the upper edge (center line) of the cross-section located in the negative z-direction. |
Dół | The center of the plate refers to the lower edge (center line) of the cross-section located in the positive z-direction. |
Środek | The center of the plate refers to the center line of the cross-section. |
Left | The center of the plate refers to the left edge (center line) of the cross-section located in the negative y-direction. |
Right | The center of the plate refers to the right edge (center line) of the cross-section located in the positive y-direction. |
Object alignment
Here you can select the reference point of the plate ("grab point") of the plate used to connect it.
There are three lists with three options each.
Środek | The plate is set at the center line which refers to its x-axis. The next columns control the specific point. |
Góra | The plate is set at the upper edge in its negative x-direction. |
Dół | The plate is set at the upper edge in its positive x-direction.. |
Środek | The plate is set at the center line which refers to its y-axis. The other columns control the specific point. |
Left | The plate is set at the left edge which is located in its positive y-direction. |
Right | The plate is set at the right edge which is located in its negative y-direction.. |
Środek | The plate is set at the center line which refers to its z-axis. |
Przód | The plate is set at its front side which is located in its negative z-direction (offset by plate thickness). |
Tył | The plate is set at its rear side which is located in its positive z-direction. |
