How to model both side splice connection

This article is also available in

A splice connection refers to the joining of two or more steel members to create a continuous structural element. Splice connections are commonly used in applications where longer structural members are required, such as beams, columns, trusses, and girders.

The design of two-side operations (like splices) is now easier than ever before. Add the backing plate to model everything in one operation.

Take advantage of the predefined templates:

The template prepared the topology, load effects, and one manufacturing operation - just ready to run the calculation. Of course, everything can be edited and you can change the parameters of the SPL manufacturing operation including the splice and also its backing plate.
