Fitting Names

Section Fittings are named using a simple coding system comprising of:

• Fitting group code

• Fitting type code

• Owning Gtype

• Additional information

• Suffix

For example: F1_SQR_ANGL_001 and F1_CIR_CTUB_4H_STIFF_VAR.

Additional information may be included, for example:

• 4H, 4 holes

• 8H, 8 holes

• STIFF, has stiffeners

• 4H_STIFF, has 4 holes and stiffeners

A suffix is either a sequential number or VARIABLE (meaning the joint has no parameters, only design parameters).
