Bracket Survey

The maps of brackets on the following pages show instances of all the brackets in the bracket set-up file, sorted on:

1. "Free brackets": without overlaps, with overlap along one arm, with overlap along two arms.

2. Brackets with tight connection to intersecting stiffeners.

3. Brackets with profile end overlaps of different types.

The following should be observed:

• Non-flanged brackets are always shown with stiffeners if they may have stiffeners. Those that do not have any stiffeners can, of course, be changed to have stiffeners. Likewise, the stiffener definition may be removed for brackets with stiffeners.

• For some of the brackets the connection in which the brackets may occur are suggested. It should be pointed out that many of the brackets may occur in several different types of connections, not indicated here (but specified in bracket definition file).

• The brackets are shown with their default notches, to the extent possible the same as those of the previously in-built brackets.
