Sorry if it's been mentioned already. Can you just ask them shore up the end about a 1' or so out then just add some angles with a leg to reach out to your 2x10. Simpson has them as well so it shouldn't be too crazy either finding something with a close enough load rating.
For me it's about a 90/10 mix of glorified search / bouncing ideas off of it. "It" here being any "AI" or at least tool that can come up with some means of doing what I ask of it. Say I want to write a module in VBA or create a new notebook to organize ideas in Notion or ask what would be needed...
Thank you, I was making the mistake of assuming point loads centered on the plates. If anyone seeing this runs into the same issue confusing themselves, here's a convenient bending moment diagram I found online from https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0143974X22006228
I'm designing a pin connection where there will be a large clearance between the inner and outer plates to accomodate movement. However, it's now being solely controlled by the pin bending given the distance between supports (outside edges of outer plates). This is because the clearance between...
