The part made using joints or has length more than that of stock length is called Large Part. In PLUS 1D you can automatically split the large parts into small pieces and than these small pieces can be optimize to maximize yield. Then there are some Joint Rules / Splicing Norms / Engineering constraints which are considered while splitting these large parts. This module is available with PLUS 1D version 6.xx and later.

Joints Rule/ Splicing Norms for flange and web

Sr. No. Rules Purpose Default values
1 Minimum part length consider for splitting It specifies the smallest part that can be considered for splitting. 2.5 meters (2500 mm)
2 Minimum  length of smaller piece of a part on splitting. This rule specifies that the split made should be greater than this length. 0.5 meter (500 mm)

Joints range for flange

Sr. No. Rules Purpose Default values
1 Minimum joint position It says the minimum split piece should not be less than this length. Part Length/5 = 0.2 * Part Length
2 Maximum joint position. It says that joint is not allowed after this position. Part Length/3 = 0.3333 * Part Length.

Joint range for web

Sr. No. Rules Purpose

Default values

1 Joint distance. It says web can split at this position. Part Length/2 = 0.5 * Part Length
2 Tolerance for Web joint. It gives the range in which the a web part can be split.
