Environment
Not environment-specific
The PEB End plate to flange rotated allows you to create an end plate connection between a PEB member connecting member end to a PEB member flange. The connection is similar to a seating / end plate connection.
After installation, PEB End plate to flange rotated will be available in the Applications & Components.
Interior column connection:
Select the rafter component first, and then the column component as input for an interior column connection.
End plate connection:
Select the primary component first, and then the secondary component as input for an end plate connection.
Define the gap between the insert plate and primary member flange.
Far and near stiffeners have separate options. Top weld notch can also be defined separately.
Weld notch value is common for all notches.

Far and near stiffeners have separate options. Top weld notch can also be defined separately.
Weld notch value is common for all notches.
Tips
For this extension to work properly, the secondary member should cross both flanges of the primary member.Example
