Studs
Studs
Continuous thread and double ended studs use fields listed in the General Fastener section earlier in this chapter. However, there are a few things that you should note in regards to the Stud database:
-
For continuous thread studs, the LNG and THRD fields need to always be the same.
-
For double ended studs, the THRD value needs to be less than LNG divided by 2.
-
The HEAD field is reserved for future use and should always be NONE.
Note that values that do not follow the above rules give unpredictable results.
