Field Bolts For Members by Zone

Tool summary :

  • Reports the number of field bolts of a particular length, diameter, etc. that are needed to erect all members with the same piecemark that are in a particular zone.
  • The same piecemark may appear in different zones. Different zones appear on different pages in this report.
  • In the example below, field bolts are listed on supported members. If ' Supporting ' had been selected for " Field bolts listed on which members " before the model was Processed , then field bolts would be listed for the supporting members.

    This report is the same as a Field Bolts For Members , except that in this report field bolts for different zones appear on separate pages.
  • See, on this page, columns on the report and the step-by-step instructions .

Columns on the report (also see the example ):

Zone: The zone that the field bolts listed in the following columns are in.

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 that share the particular piecemark reported on this line. In other words, this is the total quantity of field bolts needed to erect all members in this zone that share this piecemark. If, for instance, three members in this zone share the same piecemark, 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 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 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.

   How to output a Field Bolts For Members by Zone :

Generally field bolts are shipped loose to the construction site. This report is specifically designed for situations in which members are erected at a job site by 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 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.

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

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

Method 2 : Click the Field Bolts For Members by Zone 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.

3 . The Output Configuration window opens, allowing you to change the destination (for example, to " File " or " Screen " or " Printer ").

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

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