XS_​​ISO_​LEG_​​LENGTH_​​AS_​​WELDSIZE

Category : Welds

When XS_​AISC_​WELD_​MARK is set to FALSE , set XS_ISO_LEG_LENGTH_AS_WELDSIZE to:

  • TRUE to use the weld size as the leg length (z) of the fillet welds.
  • FALSE to use the weld size as the throat thickness (a) of the fillet welds.

Note:

The weld prefix overrides the setting of the advanced option XS_ISO_LEG_LENGTH_AS_WELDSIZE. If you have set the prefix of a weld to a , the weld size determines the design throat thickness. When the weld prefix is z , the weld size determines the leg length.

If the last character of the weld prefix is s , Tekla Structures creates the solid weld object so that a equals weld size.

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

After changing this setting, modify existing welds or their properties to activate the new setting and to update the weld solids.
