When a type standard bracket is generated and stored in the panel, the bracket will get a designation from which some details about the generated bracket can be figured out.
Syntax
The bracket designation is built up in the following way:
|
<bkt_design>::= <bkt_type><arm_A>/<arm_B> |
Example:
B50/45
Description of syntax:
|
<bkt_type> |
is the bracket designation given as input. |
|
<bkt_type>::= <string> |
|
|
Examples: B, BK, A, C ... |
|
|
<arm_A> |
denotes the size of the bracket as the length of the bracket arms A |
|
<arm_B> |
and B, respectively, expressed in centimeters. |
|
<arm_A>::= <arm_B>::= <unsigned_integer> |
|
|
<bkt_design>::= <bkt_type>[S]<arm_A>/<arm_B>-<x><y>z> |
|
|
S |
Added for standard brackets, see above. |
|
<x> |
denotes the alternative number for notch arrangement given as input. |
|
<x>::= <digit> |
|
|
<y> |
denotes the stiffener/flange arrangement on the bracket. |
|
<y>::= <digit> |
|
|
= 0 no stiffener/flange. |
|
|
= 1 stiffener/flange on the positive side of the flange. |
|
|
= 2 ditto on the negative side. |
|
|
= 3 stiffener of both sides along the free edge. Remaining stiffeners on the positive side. |
|
|
= 4 as 3 but remaining stiffeners on the negative side. |
|
|
<z> |
denotes the variant number. |
|
<z>::= <digit> |
|
|
= 0 for standard brackets. |
|
|
= 9 for normal individual brackets. |
|
|
=1-8 user given variant (see Variant Brackets). |
|
Examples:
|
BS50/50-200 |
Standard bracket. |
|
C150/60-511 |
Variant bracket that may be handled as a standard bracket. |
|
EA80/75-209 |
Ordinary individual bracket. |
Note: The designation will be equal for two similar brackets with different angles between the arms.
