Pipe Connection

Pipe Connection - 3 Pipes

"Civil Engineering functions" docking window > Steel Engineering > Connections > Front side to web/flange side > Flange > Pipe connection - 3 pipes (1503)

Use this design variant-based function to connect 3 pipes to a beam.

After calling the function, proceed as follows:

Identify the first pipe at the end you want to connect to the beam.

Identify the second pipe at the end you want to connect to the beam.

Identify the third pipe at the end you want to connect to the beam.

Identify the beam at the end to which the pipe connections will be made.

The Pipe connection - 3 pipes dialogue window will be displayed.

Specify the desired settings. The dialogue window is operated in more or less the same way as the one for the Pipe connection - 1 pipe (1501) connection.

Click the Preview button if you want to display a preview of the connection based on the currently entered data. If you want to modify the current data, apply the required changes and click Preview again to update the preview. Click OK to insert the connection according to the current data and close the dialogue window. If you click the Cancel button, the window will be closed, and the specified or changed connection will not be inserted.

The settings in the dialogue window can be saved as Favourites and reused at any time. To do this, click on the

at the bottom left of the window to activate the context menu. More about Favourites management can be found in the Manage Favourites topics of the HiCAD Basics Help.

Please note:

The gusset plate and the stiffeners will be assigned to the assembly of the beam, the bent pipe and the bolting will be assigned to the assembly of the pipe.

The setting of cut planes for gusset plates is not possible here.
