Field Bolts For Members by Zone, Select by Sheet (data from 3D model)

Tool summary :

  • Reports the quantity of field bolts per length/diameter and member piecemark and zone. You can select multiple sheets.
  • Field bolts in different zones are listed on separate pages. The following example of a page lists members found in zone 2. Members in zone 1 are on page 1.

    Unlike a Field Bolts For Members by Zone (which includes all members), this report includes only those members for which " List in bill of material " is checked.
  • Even though you select members for inclusion in this report by selecting the sheet on which they are placed, the data on those members originates from the 3D model, not from the bill of material. Output a Field Bolt Listing From Sheet BOM to get data from the bill of material.
  • See columns on the report for an explanation of each of the columns that appear on this report. Also on this help page are step-by-step instructions .

Columns on the report (also see the example ):

Line: The number of the line assigned to this group of field bolts. Each group of field bolts in a line is the same length and diameter and is associated with a distinct piecemark.

Piecemark: The piecemark ( member piecemark ) of the members in this zone fastened by this group of field bolts at the construction site (the zone is listed at the top of each page of this report). If ' Supported ' is selected for " Field bolts listed on which members ," then field bolts are listed for the supported members that were added (or for some other reason underwent Process and Create Solids ) since ' Supported ' was selected. If ' Supporting ' is selected, supporting members are listed.

Count: The total number of field bolts on all members in this zone with the particular piecemark reported on this line. In other words, this is the total quantity of field bolts needed to erect all members with this piecemark. If, for instance, there are three members with the same piecemark in this zone, and each of these members has four field bolts, the reported count is 12.

Diameter: The diameter of each bolt in the group of field bolts reported on this line.

diameter

Type: The material grade of each of the field bolts specified on this line. This column also includes the bolt type when ' Bolt Material & Type ' is selected for Home > Project Settings > Fabricator > Bolt Detailing/Fabricator Options > " Bolt designation shown in reports ."

Length: The distance from the inside of the bolt head to the end of the shaft. The program does not include the head thickness in its calculation of bolt length because head thickness may vary among bolt manufacturers.

length

Head Washer: The number under the head of the field bolt and their type ( HD or PL or RPL or FL or BVL or DTI or HLS ). If this cell is left blank, then there is no washer under the head of the field bolt.

Nut Washer: The number of washers under the nut of the field bolt and their type ( HD or PL or RPL or FL or BVL or DTI or HLS ). If this cell is left blank, then there is no washer under the nut of the field bolt.

TC: Yes or No . If the bolts on this line are TC (Tension Control) bolts, this cell reads 'Yes'. If the bolts are not TC bolts, the cell reads 'No'.

   Outputting a Field Bolts For Members by Zone, Select by Sheet :

Generally field bolts are shipped loose to the construction site. A Field Bolts For Members by Zone, Select by Sheet may be used to evaluate how many bolts of what type are needed to erect members with a particular piecemark in a particular zone.

1 . Please note that the user of a full-featured SDS2 program affects information on this report in the following ways:

1a : This report is compiled from the 3D model. When the user of a full-featured SDS2 program does a Process and Create Solids , the model is updated for the current Job . You can then output a Field Bolts For Members by Zone, Select by Sheet that will be up to date.

1b : If you want only the steel grade to be listed in this report in the column " Type ," then the user must set the setup option " Bolt designation shown in reports " to ' Bolt material only '.

1c : If the option " Field bolts listed on which members " has changed, Process and Create Solids must have been done for all members in order for that change to be fully realized in this report.

1d : Since you select members for inclusion in this report by the sheet they are on, details need to have placed onto detail sheets in a full-featured SDS2 program before you can output this report. Be aware that the report counts all field bolts of those members on selected sheets which have " List in bill of material " checked. This means that if the same member is on the same sheet twice and " List in bill of material " is checked for both members, the report doubles the field bolt count -- which is probably not what you want. The report also doubles the field bolt count if a member is on two sheets and " List in bill of material " is checked for both.

2 . Do any one (1) of the following:

Method 1 : Home > Reports > System Reports > Field Bolts > Field Bolts For Members by Zone, Select by Sheet .

Method 2 : Click the Field Bolts For Members by Zone, Select by Sheet icon, which is pictured above. The icon can be taken from the group named ' Reports ' and placed on a toolbar (classic) or the ribbon (lightning). Ribbon configuration is done using Customize Interface .

Method 3 : If " Modeling layout style " or " Drawing Editor layout style " is ' Classic ', you can use the menu system to choose Reports > Field Bolts > Field Bolts For Members by Zone, Select by Sheet.

3 . A selection dialog opens. On it is a selection list of the detail sheets in your current Job.

 DS_1
 DS_2
 DS_3
 DS_4
 DS_5
 
Optional: Press the button under " Destination " to redirect the report's output destination. In this example, " Screen " indicates that output is to the report viewer .

Alternative 1 : Select the detail sheets you want the report to be based on, then press " OK ." Go to step 4.

Alternative 1 : Press " Cancel " to end this operation without generating the report. Do not continue.

4 . The Field Bolts For Members by Zone, Select by Sheet report is output.

Note: If you output to the report viewer (" Screen "), you can now review the report on screen then optionally print it or output it to disk (see report viewer ).
