Studded outlets in DesignCalcs, also known as pad flanges, are a type of opening in other components. The supported configuration is Figure UG-40 Sketch (a-1), also seen as Figure UW-16.1 Sketch (p). The supported host type is a cylindrical host (shell). The studded outlet methodology comes from the following Section VIII, Division 1 paragraphs:
- UG-37 (Reinforcement)
- UG-40 (Limits of Reinforcement)
- UG-41 (Weld Path Strength)
- UW-15 (Weld Unit Strength)
- UW-16 (Weld Details)
- Appendix 1-7(a) (Compact Reinforcement)
