Follow the below steps to edit the plate girder dimensions.
Cross-Frames
Add K Top type cross frames to start and end support locations and add X type cross frames based on the spacing data.
| |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pick 2 Girders that the cross frame will be placed between. |   | |||||
| 2 | Enter the Station of the cross frame. |  | |||||
| 3 | Go to Sections tab. |   | |||||
| 4 | Import AISCL8X8X3/4 and assign it to Top & Bottom & Diagonal Chord Sections. | ||||||
| 5 | Go to Gusset Plate tab and edit the gusset plate offset values for top, bottom and diagonal plates. |  | |||||
| 6 | Go to Stiffener tab |  | |||||
| 7 | Edit the vertical stiffener thickness as 0.75 and vertical stiffener width as 7 in. | ||||||
| 8 | Go to Geometry tab. |  | |||||
| 9 | Edit the offset values for top chord, diagonals, and bottom chord. | ||||||
| 10 | Perform the same steps for X type cross-frames. | ||||||
