" NS/FS Clip Conn1 " connection design locks

Gusset clip angles for the gusset-to-column connection in a vertical-brace-to-beam-&-column framing situation can be designed per " NS/FS Clip Conn1 " locks when the beam-to-column connection is a double clip angle. The gusset clip angles shop bolt or weld to the gusset, which shop attaches to the beam. On the beam, clip angles to the column can be set to " Combine ... " (not shown).

(vertical brace, gusset-to-column clip angles, to a beam & column) (if the beam has a clip angle, the gusset field bolts to the column with a clip angle) (vertical brace " Section size " = any valid shape) (" Input connection type " = ' Vbrc Plate ' or ' User defined ') (" Gusset to clip connection " = ' Bolted ' (shown) or ' Welded '. )

When " Connection specifications " > " Gusset to clip connection " is set to ' Welded ', you get a " Weld size " entry field, but no options for bolting:

Weld size ( weld ): The weld size used to shop weld the " NS Clip Conn2 " or " FS Clip Conn2 " clip angle to the gusset plate.

When " Gusset to clip connection " is set to ' Bolted ', you get the following " Connection to supported " options for shop bolting the brace to the gusset plate. " Connection to supported " settings can be different than the entries made to " Connection to supporting " fields.
