Moment Cap Plate " connection design locks
| A cap plate for a beam with a welded moment connection can be created by connection design when that beam frames to the top of a column flange. Although the moment cap plate shop welds to the column, " Moment Cap Plate " locks are maintained on the Beam Edit window since the cap plate is generated as a component of the welded moment connection, which is also specified on the beam.

Moment Cap Plate
Cap plate
Plate length: The distance (parallel with the work line of the beam) between the two edges of the moment cap plate that are perpendicular to the beam.
Plate width: The distance (perpendicular to the work line of the beam) between the two edges of the moment cap plate that are parallel with the beam.
Plate thickness ( not depicted ): The " Material thickness " of the moment cap plate.
Welds
Weld size to column flange ( flange weld ): The weld size for shop welding the moment cap plate to the web of the column. See the example .
Weld size to column web ( web weld ): The weld size for shop welding the moment cap plate to the column. See the example .
