The Corner Gusset Assembly Connection node (the CornerGussetAsmConn sheet in the StructAssemblyConnections.xls workbook) defines the corner gusset assembly connections that you can place using the Place Assembly Connection command in the Structure.

These assembly connections connect a vertical brace to a column and a beam using a gusset plate. The vertical brace must be in the same plane as the column and beam, and the angle between the column and the beam must be greater than the angle between the vertical brace and the column.

Name

Specifies the name of the assembly connection. This is the name that appears in the interface when you are placing the assembly connection.

Thickness

Specifies the thickness of the gusset plate.

Length

Specifies the length of the gusset plate. This is dimension B in the figure.

Width

Specifies the width of the gusset plate. This is dimension A in the figure.

Overlap Length

Specifies the distance the vertical brace overlaps the gusset plate. This is dimension C in the figure.

Clearance Primary

Specifies the clearance distance between the gusset plate and the column. This is dimension E in the figure.

Cut Length

Specifies the length of the chamfer cut.

Cut Width

Specifies the width of the chamfer cut.

Squared End

Specifies whether or not the end of the vertical brace is squared off.

Clearance

Specifies the minimum distance between the vertical brace and the beam or the column, whichever one is closer. This is dimension D in the figure.
