Shared Gusset Plate [TB]

Transfer object used to share one or more refined gusset plate designs from a master project into a child project. All objects referenced by the selected gusset plates — their insertion points, the support lines and bridges those insertion points belong to, alignments, custom-shape materials, rigid section properties, and plate section materials — are collected automatically and transferred together, so the child project can open the gusset plates without losing any supporting data.

General

Gusset Plates: Pick the refined gusset plate objects to be shared. Each picked gusset plate carries along its insertion point, support line, bridge, alignment, plate section, rigid section, and related materials into the transfer. The user must provide at least one selection.

Transfer Result Extractions [No/Yes]: Controls whether analysis results — force and displacement extractions — are packaged with the transferred gusset plates. Set to Yes when the downstream child project needs the gusset plates' analysis results (for instance, to reuse them as inputs to Bearing Forces, Bottom of Column Forces, or other Analysis Results objects without re-running the global FEA). Set to No when only the gusset plate geometry and definitions are needed.
