The following advanced plate system macros create ring plates, which reinforce one or more members sharing a nodal connection and penetrated by a perpendicular cylindrical member. A nodal connection is typically a construction assembly between built-up members and consists of side plates or ring plates, transition plates, and continuity plates.
Creates a ring plate by connecting all flanges on a set of incoming members that share a nodal connection and a penetrating perpendicular cylindrical member. The corners of the ring plate are square. |
