Cutback Allowance

Model Reference Manual

Structural Design Using Catalogue Components : Attributes of Connected Joints : Cutback Allowance

Cutback Allowance

The derived length of an attached Section is, unless otherwise specified, the distance between the Cutting Planes of the Joints at its two ends. The CUTB attribute allows the user to specify a length by which the Section should be shortened or extended to allow for any local fitting geometry at the Joint’s attachment point (to allow for weld metal, packing pieces etc.).

A positive value of CUTB shortens the derived length of a Section attached to the Joint; a negative CUTB lengthens the attached Section. The default is a CUTB setting of zero.


Example:
CUTB 6	An attached section will have its derived length reduced by 6mm.
CUTB -6	An attached section will have its derived length increased by 6mm.
