The Shear Stud has no impact on the finite element model and is only used for design and 3D visualization purposes. To display bolts on the 3D view, the detailing option must be turned on with show studs=yes. However, enabling this option increases the triangulation number, leading to slower performance. To reduce compile time, disabling the detailing option can be helpful.

Girder: Choose the plate girder
Start Station-End Station [ft]: The station is located along the PGL. If the shear stud parameters, such as diameter, number of studs per row, spacing of studs in row, and spacing between rows, are the same between two stations, those stations can be used as the start and end stations.
