XS_​USE_​SMALLER_​GUSSET_​PLATE

Category

Components

Set this advanced option to TRUE to minimize the size of rectangular gusset plates created by gusset connections. You can create smaller gusset plates by using a single bracing and secondary bolts dimensioned to the middle of the secondary part. Tekla Structures generates a triangular gusset plate when the main part is located between diagonals. The default value is FALSE.

This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database.
