A Beam to Beam support uses the following attributes to define the parts that are included in the support. The support has parts at both the ends and suffixes 1 and 2 are used to specify the parts on either ends.
Suffix 1 - specifies parts at the end of the Beam connected to the primary supporting structure
Suffix 2 - specifies parts at the end of the Beam connected to the secondary supporting structure
For example, EndPlatePart1 and EndPlatePart2.

Implementation Details |
---|---|---|
IJUAhsBeamPt:: |
Specifies the part number or the part class of the Hanger Beam steel part to use. |
Beam is a mandatory part. You must specify either a BeamPart or a BeamRule. |
IJUAhsBeamAng:: |
Specifies the angle of rotation for the Beam cross section. |
The following codelist values from the hsSteelOrientationAngle sheet in the HS_S3DAssy_Codelist workbook are supported: 0, 90, 180, 270. |
IJUAhsReflectTrun:: |
Specifies whether or not the Beam cross section must be reflected about the Beams Y-axis. |
False True |
IJUAhsB2BBeam:: |
Specifies whether to place the two Beams in a back to back configuration. |
False - Only a single Beam is included. True - Two Beams are included in the support. |
IJUAhsEndPltPt(1&2):: |
Specifies the part number or the part class to use for the End Plate. EndPlatePart1 - end of Beam connected to the primary supporting structure. EndPlatePart2 - end of Beam connected to the secondary supporting structure. |
The End Plate is an optional part. Leave this attribute blank to exclude an End Plate. |
IJUAhsEndPltAng:: |
Specifies the angle of rotation for the End Plate about the axis of the Beam. |
|
IJUAhsBoltPt:: |
Specifies the part number or the part class of a Bolt part to use for bolting the End Plate. |
Bolts are optional parts. Leave these attributes blank to exclude the End Plate. If the Bolts are included, then the Bolts are not modeled but are included as implied parts. |
IJUAhsBoltQty::BoltQty |
Specifies the number of implied Bolt parts to include in the support. |
|
IJUAhsClipPt(1&2):: |
Specifies the part number or the part class of a Hanger Beam steel part to use for the support. |
The Beam Clip is an optional part. Leave these attributes blank to exclude a Beam Clip. The Clip is connected to the web of the Beam. The following Clip cross-sections are supported: L / Angle T / WT For back-to-back Beams, the software places the Clips on the outside of the web and a single Clip is placed for each Beam. L / Angle T / WT |
IJUAhsClipQty:: ClipQuantity |
Specifies a codelist value that determines the number of Clips to include. |
For back-to-back Beams, only a single Clip is included for each Beam irrespective of the ClipQuality. If the Clip cross-section is T / WT, a second Clip cross-section is not included, irrespective of the ClipQuality. A second Clip is included only if the Clip cross-section is L / Angle and a Clip is placed on either side of the web, as shown in the following image: |
IJUAhsClipBoltPt:: ClipBoltPart |
Specifies the part number or the part class of a Bolt part to use for bolting the Clip to the Beam. |
Clip Bolts are optional parts. Leave these attributes blank to exclude Bolts. If the Clip Bolts are included, then the Bolts are not modeled but are instead included as implied parts. |
IJUAhsClipBoltQty:: ClipBoltQty |
Specifies the number of implied Bolt parts intended for use. |
|
IJUAhsVertPltPt(1&2):: VertPlatePart(1&2) |
Specifies the Plate part number or the part class to use for the vertical Plate. VertPlatePart1 - end of Beam connected to the primary supporting structure. VertPlatePart2 - end of Beam connected to the secondary supporting structure. To select a part number using the VertPlateRule, do not type any value for this property. |
The vertical Plate is required if the Beam connection is set to VerticalPlate. If the Beam connection is set to vertical Plate, then the corresponding plate part is included in the support. If the Beam connection is not vertical Plate, the software ignores these attributes. |
IJUAhsEndConnection::EndConnectionPart |
Specifies the Beam Clamp part number or the part class for the BeamToBeam support. |
|
IJUAhsEndConnectionRl::EndConnectionRule |
Specifies the hgrSupportRule that returns the part number of BeamClamp. The hanger rule must be the name of an existing rule in the catalog. |
|
IJUAhsEndConnQty::EndConnQtyPerSide |
Specifies the Quantity of BeamClamps on each side. |
|
IJUAhsEndConnQtyRl::EndConnQtyRule |
Specifies a rule that returns the BeamClamp Quantity |
|
IJUAhsEndConnQtySel::EndConnQtySel |
Overrides the codelist value that determines the origin of the selection. This property uses the hsSelection codelist. |
hsSelection: 1 - By Rule 2 - By Input |
