Some of these intelligent fields will update the relevant object when this connection is used on sections of a different size, and allow users to quickly modify the connection once it has been reused. This intelligence, will also be saved to the Custom Connection library.
To assist in modeling the template connection, Advance Steel contains a number of intelligent “Building Blocks” allowing the user to insert objects with simple intelligence. Refer to Figures 1 through 3 below.įigure 3 – Advance properties of Intelligent Custom Connection – Bolts on beam gauge line The Connection type can simultaneously be built up with objects from Intelligent Connections available in the Connection Vault. This “Manual” Connection type was built up of manually created and added objects such as Bolts, Plates, Columns and Beams. To assist with understanding this process I created a short video going through the process of creating a custom connection. To add a User Defined Connection the Custom Connections Library, the connection will first to be modeled in Advance Steel.
This feature allows users to save Manually Created Connections, which have characteristics not available in the Connection Vault, to a library where they can be reused at similar connection points on any model. Recently, here at Ideate, Inc., a technical inquiry came through asking about Autodesk Advance Steel and the ability to create a custom connection.Ĭustom or User Defined Connections were introduced to into the list of available Advance Steel features with later releases.
