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, for example, with anti-corrosive paint, hot galvanized, fire retardant coating, and so on.
|
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.
