The images below illustrate the type of connections which the bracket may be part of in this syntax. (In the images, L denotes shell profiles, S stiffeners and F flanges.)

<syntax_6>::= [,(A= <length_A>) | (AOV= <overlap_A>)] [,(B= <length_B>) | (BOV= <overlap_B>)] [,M1= <seamdist>] ,<ext_prof_ref> (1 ... 25) [,REF] /<int_prof_ref> (1 ... 25) |
For <ext_prof_ref> and <int_prof_ref>, see General Layout of a Statement.
<panel>::= <name>
In general, the bracket parameters will be generated according to the rules specified in the Design Standards. (The very special built-in brackets BVA and BVB are generated according to special rules with a high degree of automation. The following comments are not valid for these brackets.)
|
A |
For the brackets EA, EAK, EB and EBK, the A-measure can be defined in two ways:
<length_A>::= <number> |
|
AOV |
For those bracket types which overlap along the side A, the A-measure is defined by an overlap assigned to AOV. <overlap_A>::= <number> Suppose that H is the height of the overlapped profile. If not given, AOV is supposed to be H or as specified by the bracket set-up. AOV < 5 is interpreted as a factor giving an overlap AOV * H. AOV >= 5 is interpreted as the actual overlap. |
|
B |
Normally, the B-measure is controlled via the overlap. |
|
BOV |
See Syntax 5 which has the same options. |
|
M1 |
See Syntax 5. Note that when > 0, M1 should include the height of the profile which the bracket is standing on, that means, be measured from the plate surface. |
|
Remark: The rules above mean that a bracket can be generated quite automatically the constants of the bracket set-up are accepted |
|
Examples:
EC bracket, connecting a bulkhead to a longitudinal:
|
BRA, EC, COR=2, SID=FOR, PSI=BOT, M1=250, |
GB-bracket, connecting a bottom transverse to a longitudinal.
|
BRA, GB, MIRR, PSIDE=SB, MAT=14, A=800, If the default rules are accepted, A and BOV need not be given. |
