 Create End Plate & Bolt in Sample Project (Exercise - 01)

Steps:
1. From 3D Views, go to Beam
on top of Column in Grid 8F
2. Create End Plate with
thickness 10
3. Click Bolt, select Column
then End Plate
4. Open Bolt Properties and
Change Occordingly
Create Bolt Group (Exercise - 02)

Steps:
1. On the Steel tab, click Bolt (the Bolt Properties Open)
2. Modify the Bolt Properties, if needed (for example, the Bolt Group
settings affect the end result)
3. Select the main part, to which the secondary parts will be bolted
4. Select the secondary part
5. Click the middle mouse button to finish selecting parts
6. Pick a point to indicate the bolt group origin
7. Pick a second point to indicate the direction of the bolt group
x axis
 Create Weld in Sample Project (Exercise - 03)

Steps:
1. From Exercise 01, Go to Steel
➔ Weld ➔ Create weld
between parts
2. First select End Plate then
select Connection Beam
3. Open Weld Properties and
change accordingly
 Create Stiffner in Sample Project (Exercise - 04)

Steps:
1. From Exercise 01, create 1
Stiffener Plate with thickness
10 in top Column
2. Change chamfer as indicated
3. Copy mirror stiffener to other
site
4. Copy linear stiffener down to
Beam bottom flange
 Add Stiffner into Column Assembly (Exercise - 05)

Steps:
1. From Exercise 03, select 4 stiffener (press ctrl key to
add multiple selection)
2. Right click and Add to assembly
3. Select Column, now stiffener become 1 assembly with
column without need to add the weld
4. Check the assembly from inquiry assembly
 Add Custom Component (Exercise - 06)

Steps:
1. Go to applications & components,
then choose define constum
component
2. Setting Custom Component Wizard
(4 steps) – choose Connection then
fill the name, then click Next
3. Select objects (bolt, plate, &
stiffener), then click Next
4. Choose Main Part then click Next
5. Choose Secondary Part then click
Finish
