The Web Corner Cope Feature node (the WebCornerCope sheet in the StructAssemblyConnections.xls workbook) defines the web copes that you can place using the Trim Member Command in the Structure task.
Fitted assembly connections are used to connect one beam to another beam or to connect a beam to a column.
Name
Specifies the name of the feature. This is the name that appears in the interface when you are defining trims.
Min Cope Length Clearance
Specifies the distance between the flanges. This is dimension B in the figure.
Min Cope Depth Clearance
Specifies the distance between the web and the flange. This is dimension C in the figure.
Rounding Increment
Specifies the value by which to increment the cope dimension. For example, if you set the Increment to 2" (inches), the cope dimension is always divisible by 2 (2", 4", 6", 8", 10", and so on). Similarly, if you set the Increment to 3", the cope dimension is always divisible by 3 (3", 6", 9", 12", and so on). Setting the Increment value to 0 causes the cope to be the exact length needed to clear.
Cope Radius
Specifies the radius of the cope at the intersection of the cope length clearance and cope depth clearance. These are corners A in the figure.
Cope Radius Type
Specifies the type (Radius (1), Chamfer (2), or None (0)) for the cope radius.
Web Radius
Specifies the web radius of the member being coped. These are corners F in the figure.
Web Radius Type
Specifies the type (Radius (1), Chamfer (2), or None) (0) for the web radius.
Cope End
Used for reporting. Leave blank.
Cope Length
Specifies the cope length. This is dimension D in the figure.
Cope Depth
Specifies the cope depth. This is dimension E in the figure.
Cope Edge
Used for reporting. Leave blank.
Definition
Specifies the web cope definition macro.
