# Shear Stud
{% hint style="info" %}
**Navigation:** Superstructure > Connections > Shear Stud
For detailed parameter explanations, see the [Shear Stud Reference](https://docs.openbrim.org/templates/steel-i-girder-bridge-workflow/superstructure-sig/connections-sig/shear-stud-sig).

**Step 1:** Click the **three-dots icon** on the **Girder** cell, and then set **G1**.
**Step 2:** Enter the **Start Station** as **1.975.**
**Step 3:** Enter the **End Station** as **73.**
**Step 4:** **Start** and **End Station** parameters of the **Shear Stud** should take into account skew angle.\
You can refer to the Quick Tip below to review the calculations.
Quick Tip: Learn how to calculate station for skew angle
For example, if the **Insertion Point** has a skew angle as 30°, **Shear Stud Start** and **End Stations** should be updated by multiplying with the sinus of the skew angle.

**Step 5:** You can edit the dimensions of Shear Stud from **Shear Stud** tab.\
Keep the **Diameter, Shear Stud In-Place Height, Shear Stud Head Thickness** as default.
Enter the **No. of Studs per Row** as **3.**\
Enter the **Spacing of Studs in Row** as **4.**\
Enter the **Spacing between Rows** as **6.**
**Step 6:** The shear studs are drawn whenever the DETAILING button on the top middle bar is turned on; there is no per-object switch.
**Step 7:** When the steps are completed, the shared screenshot displayed in the adjacent cell should be visible in the 3D view of OpenBrIM.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.openbrim.org/examples/steel-bridge-examples/example-steel-i-girder-bridge-ex1-sig/superstructure-ex1-sig/connections-ex1-sig/shear-stud-ex1-sig.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
