Interfaces and boundaries for node design
Node design depends on the host structure, members, location and confirmed calculation conditions. Illustrations and construction basis must be read separately. Sample reference object: DEMO / N-012.
Inputs
- Confirmed forces and restraint directions
- Member specs, hole positions and edge distances
- Host-structure anchorage and installation space
- Construction tolerance and maintenance boundaries
Outputs and boundaries
- Node selection and detailing notes
- Installation steps and review points
- Node catalogue for detailing / BOM handoff
Boundary: parameters come from reviewed documents; illustrations are not construction basis.
Example 
Example: force, detailing and installation conditions closed in one logic.
Choose a node to review
Only nodes with available materials are listed. After selecting, use the button to jump to details—the page does not auto-scroll.
Example 
Example: approximate node locations; details follow the selected node panel.
Read connection and installation relationships
Local figures and numbered notes match the selected node. Standard vs project-specific boundaries are noted nearby.
Beam-column node
Current focus: forces, hole positions and installation direction at the beam-column interface.
- 1 Define contact face and force direction
- 2 Check holes, edge distance and connector specs
- 3 Confirm installation direction and tool space
- 4 Separate standard assemblies from project adjustments
Illustration only; hole size, plate thickness and bolt grade follow controlled drawings.
Brace node
Forms a lateral stability path; angle, member and connectors must match calculation conditions.
- 1 Confirm brace angle and member size
- 2 Check connector seating on the channel
- 3 Avoid clashes with pipes or equipment
- 4 Prefer standard nodes; detail only for complex boundaries
Standard nodes are reusable; project boundary changes need parametric adjustment and review.
Hanger-rod node
Focus on rod length adjustment, cross-arm lock-off and upper anchorage.
- 1 Confirm rod length and adjustment range
- 2 Check cross-arm lock-off and anti-loosening
- 3 Check upper anchorage and host conditions
- 4 Keep maintenance access
Torque and lock-off hardware follow reviewed node drawings.
Base and anchorage node
Define the final force-transfer boundary and verify host connection conditions.
- 1 Confirm substrate type and anchorage method
- 2 Check base-plate holes and edge distances
- 3 Check clashes and openings in the host structure
- 4 Separate illustrations from construction-basis files
Anchorage capacity and embedment parameters are confirmed with related disciplines and site conditions.
Installation steps and review points
Steps match the current node and members. Torque, hole size and similar parameters follow reviewed drawings.
-
Set out
Mark centerlines from detail drawings and check host boundaries first.
-
Assemble
Assemble beam, column and connectors per marks, keeping orientation.
-
Tighten and check
Tighten per drawing and check hole alignment and gaps.
-
Record release
Record site deviations and version; feed detailing or calculation review.
-
Check location
Confirm brace end points on layout drawings.
-
Install member
Install brace and connectors with correct angle and direction.
-
Clearance check
Check access and maintenance space against nearby systems.
-
Lock version
Confirm fastening and lock the document version.
-
Hang and locate
Hang rods at set-out points; check plumb and spacing.
-
Install cross-arm
Install the cross-arm and rough-level it.
-
Lock and adjust
Complete lock-off and height adjustment per drawing.
-
Maintenance check
Confirm later access and record.
-
Structure set-out
Mark anchorage points and verify host boundaries first.
-
Install anchors
Install anchors per approved method; record batch and location.
-
Set base plate
Install the base and check level and orientation.
-
Interface review
Review the interface to upper members, then release.
