General |
Name | User-definable name of a beam. Tekla Structures uses part names in reports and in Document manager , and to identify parts of the same type. |
Profile | Profile of the beam. |
Material | Material of the beam. |
Finish | Type of finish. Finish is user definable. It describes how the part surface has been treated, e.g. with anti-corrosive paint, hot galvanized, fire retardant coating, etc. |
Class | Use to group beams. For example, you can display parts of different classes in different colors. |
Numbering series |
Part numbering | Part prefix and start number for the part position number. |
Assembly numbering | Assembly prefix and start number for the assembly position number. |
Position |
On plane | Beam's position on the work plane , relative to the beam's reference line. |
Rotation | Rotation of the beam around its axis on the work plane. |
At depth | Position depth of the beam. The position is always perpendicular to the work plane. |
End offset |
Dx | Change the length of the beam by moving the beam end point along the beam's reference line. |
Dy | Move the beam end perpendicular to the beam's reference line. |
Dz | Move the beam end in the z direction of the work plane. |
Curved beam |
Plane | Plane of curvature. |
Radius | Radius of the curved beam. |
Number of segments | Number of segments Tekla Structures uses when drawing the curved beam. |
Deforming |
Warping | Use to warp beams using deformation angles. |
Cambering | Use to pre-camber beams. |
Shortening | Use to shorten beams in the model. The true length of the beam is decreased in the drawing. |
