SDS/2 2015 Connections Luis Torres The Steel Detailers Stephanie Haith Design Data

SDS/2 2015 Connections • Discuss and demonstrate new connection design in SDS/2 v 2015 – Focus not on new connections – Focus on getting SDS/2 to design around parameters • Comparing SDS/2 v 7. 3 and SDS/2 v 2015: – System – User -> User Modified – User Defined – Force and Graphical

SDS/2 2015 Connections • Comparing SDS/2 v 7. 3 and SDS/2 v 2015: – System • From user point of view, system designed connections work the same between SDS/2 v 7. 3 and SDS/2 v 2015

SDS/2 2015 Connections • Comparing SDS/2 v 7. 3 and SDS/2 v 2015: – User: v 7. 3 • • • Design a system generated connection Toggle User and make modifications Some geometrical changes may occur within screen Connection never goes through process again Design Calculations will state:

SDS/2 2015 Connections • Comparing SDS/2 v 7. 3 and SDS/2 v 2015: – User: v 7. 3

SDS/2 2015 Connections • Comparing SDS/2 v 7. 3 and SDS/2 v 2015: – There is no “User” connection in v 2015. Instead it is a system connection with connection design locks set. • Refer to these as User Modified

SDS/2 2015 Connections • Comparing SDS/2 v 7. 3 and SDS/2 v 2015: – User Modified: v 2015 • Design a system generated connection • Modify lockables • On-the-fly design around lockables, which replaces the need for Redesign button – Connection can still fail: Locked connection has too many restraints » If input connection type is NOT Auto Standard, system will maintain lockables. Will NOT change to Plain End. • Process and create solids for solids creation and framing situation • Design Calculations reflect system connection with NO “USER CONNECTION” statement

SDS/2 2015 Connections • Comparing SDS/2 v 7. 3 and SDS/2 v 2015: – User Modified: v 2015 • Design Calculations reflect system connection with NO “USER CONNECTION” statement – However, the Design Calculation will state the number of variables locked via Member Edit. • NOTE: If there are lockables set and the connection type is changed, the system will currently reset the connection. This means if there are locked fields, those will be removed and updated to the new variables for the connection. However, in some specific cases, those fields could be maintained. For example, rows of bolts for a welded clip angle to bolted clip angle.
