Hi there
please see attached a snapshot of a 2D stick plan drawing, as shown all members are bolted so have an offset form each beam connection. what do you do if:
1. one end of a beam is bolted and the other end is a welded connection or
2. one of the beams needs to be full length (no cutbacks) while the other beams that connect are bolted which require the cutback
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
do you create an independent rule and part for that particular member
thanks
steve
