" NS/FS Clip Conn2 " connection design locks
" NS/FS Clip Conn2 " gusset clip angles shop bolt a vertical brace's gusset plate to a beam when " Gusset to supporting member " is set to ' Clip angle '. The NS and FS clip angles shop bolt to the beam flange and can either be shop welded (' Welded ') or shop bolted (' Bolted ') to the gusset plate. |

Connection to supported (gusset clip angle, NS or FS, leg welded or bolted to the gusset plate) :
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 (see example ).
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.

Vertical hole spacing ( spacing ): The entry made here can be one vertical spacing distance or variable hole spacing. See the video and table below.
VIDEO Variable hole spacing can be typed to locked " Vertical hole spacing " fields found in leaves named " Shear Tab "; " Bent Plate " " End Plate " and " NS/FS Clip ." (Recorded in SDS2 Detailing , v2016.)
