Shop Bolt Summary (data from 3D model)

Tool summary :

  • Reports, on each line, the quantity of shop bolts of a particular length, diameter, etc. that are needed to fabricate all members that require those shop bolts.
  • The Shop Bolt Summary provides a listing of all shop bolts of all types and sizes in the 3D model for your current Job .
  • Shown below is a page from a Shop Bolt Summary .

    This single page lists all shop bolts used in the entire Job. Shop bolts with different specifications appear on different lines.
  • See, on this page, columns on the report and the step-by-step instructions .

   Columns on the report (also see the example ):

Line: The number of the line in this report that is assigned to the group of shop bolts described in the line. All bolts with unique specifications (as defined by their type, diameter, length, washer location) are grouped together on the same line.

Column 2: The word " summary " appear on each line in this column as a reminder that the line is a summary of all shop bolts with the particular specifications described in the line.

Count: The total number of shop bolts that have the specifications described on this line. This is all such bolts that are found in your current Job.

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

diameter

Type: The material grade of the bolts reported on this line. This column also includes the bolt type if ' Bolt material & type ' is selected for the setup option " 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 of washers under the head of the shop 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 shop bolt.

   How to output a Shop Bolt Summary :

Shop bolts are bolts that fasten connection materials to member main materials in the shop. A Shop Bolt Summary is an excellent report to use for ordering the specific bolts needed to fabricate members in the shop.

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

1a : This report is compiled from the 3D model that is contained in your current Job . When the user of a full-featured SDS2 program does a Process and Create Solids in that Job, the model is updated. You can then output a Shop Bolt Report by Zone 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 of a full-featured SDS2 program must set the setup option " Bolt designation shown in reports " to ' Bolt material only '.

2 . Use any one (1) of the following methods to begin printing this report:

Method 1 : Home > Reports > System Reports > Shop Bolts > Shop Bolt Summary .

Method 2 : Click the Shop Bolt Summary 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 > Shop Bolts > Shop Bolt Summary.

3 . The Output Configuration window opens, allowing you to change the destination (for instance, to " Report " or to a " File ") if you so choose.

Alternative 1 : Press the " OK " button to output the report. Go to step 4.

Alternative 2 : Press " Cancel " to end this operation without generating the report. Do not continue.

4 . The Shop Bolt Summary is output to the device/ location that you designated.

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