Shear Studs does not directly affect the finite element model and is used only for design and 3D visualization purposes.
Position
Girder: Choose the plate girder
Start Station: The start station of Shear Studs, calculated based on the PGL.
End Station: 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.
Shear Stud
The parameters listed below can be defined for detailed specifications of the shear studs. For a visual representation of each parameter, please refer to the figures below.
Diameter: Diameter of each shear stud.
Shear Stud In-Place Height:
Shear Stud Head Thickness:
No. Of Studs Per Row:
Spacing of Studs In Row:
Spacing Between Rows:
Number of Segments Used to Draw the Bolt: A higher number of segments results in a smoother display of the bolts. If this parameter is set to 3, triangular shapes of the bolts will be visible. As the number increases, the bolt geometry will be generated to more closely resemble a circular shape.
Show Studs (Detailing) [NO/YES]: To display the shear studs, this parameter should be set to ‘YES,’ and the DETAILING button on the top middle bar must be turned on.
