The Slab Free Edge Assembly Connection node (the SlabFreeEdgeAsm sheet in the StructSlabAssemblyConnections.xls workbook defines the slab assembly connections available when the slab is bounded by a grid line.
Name
Enter a part number for the assembly connection. This identification must be unique across the entire catalog.
Definition
Specifies the assembly connection definition macro.
Reference Direction
Select the reference direction for the angle:
-
Normal - The angle is measured from a vector perpendicular to the slab edge.
-
Horizontal - The angle is measured from the global XY plane in the model.
-
Vertical - The angle is measured from the Z-Axis in the model.
Angle
Enter a slope for the slab edge represented by the assembly connection. If the slab was place using the Face Position Top, the side face rotates about the top slab edge. If the slab was placed using the Face Position Bottom, the side face rotates about the bottom slab edge.
Offset
Specify the distance between the selected boundary object and the edge of the slab.
