Purpose
This command performs selection of weld sizes for specified
members.
General format:
⎧MEMBER memb-list ⎫
SEL
ECT WELD (TRUSS) ⎨ ⎬
⎩
ALL
⎭
Description
By this command, the program selects the weld sizes of the
specified members at start and end. The selections are tabulated
with all the necessary information. If the TRUSS command is used,
the program will design welds for angle and double angle members
attached to gusset plates with the weld along the length of
members.
Notes
Currently, this feature is available only with the American welding
specifications. Regardless of the code name specified prior to this
command, design will be performed according to US code
specifications. Some information on the implementation of these
specifications is available in Section 2.12 of this manual. The
parameters available for controlling weld sizes are listed in Table
2.1 in Section 2 of this manual.
It is important that the keywords MEMBER or ALL be provided.
Thus, the keyword SELECT by itself is not sufficient.
Examples
1) SELECT WELD TRUSS MEMB 22 TO 35
2) SELECT WELD ALL
