Using this option, you can specify manual verification parameters for the defined pinned connection.
Access the option by:
- Clicking Connections layout.
- Clicking Connections menu > Manual Calculations.
After you select the option, the Manual Verification of the Connection dialog displays.
Specify verification parameters:
- Node number - displays the number of the node for which the selected connection type is verified
- Connection number - displays the number of the verified connection
- Internal Forces in the Connection
- Compression force Nc - enter the compression force value for the connection
- Tension force Nt - enter the tension force value for the connection
- Shear force Qy - enter the shear force value in the Y-axis direction
- Shear force Qz - enter the shear force value in the Z-axis direction
- Axial force from Qy - enter the connection axial force resulting from the shear force QY (QY force component projected in the X-axis direction)
- Axial force from Qz - enter the connection axial force resulting from the shear force QZ (QZ force component projected in the X-axis direction).
- Simplified note - select it to display a simple calculation note with the basic information about the verified connection.
After clicking the Calculations button the software runs calculations of the selected connection type for a given structure node. Define internal connection forces (M, Q, N).
