Create studs

A stud is special type of bolt that is welded to steel parts to transfer loads between steel and concrete.

Tekla Structures uses the same command for creating bolts, studs and holes. When you create studs, select the stud assembly standard in the Bolt properties. You can create a group of studs or a single stud.

You can also create studs by using the Shear Stud (1010) component.

  1. Ensure that the needed studs are added to the bolt catalog and bolt assembly catalog.
  2. On the Steel tab, hold down Shift and click Bolt to open the Bolt properties.
  3. In the Standard list, select the bolt assembly standard for the studs.
  4. Under Bolt group, do one of the following:
    • To create a group of studs, define Shape and the related properties as desired.
    • To create a single stud, select Array from the Shape list and type 0 in the Bolt dist X and Bolt dist Y boxes.
  5. Modify the other properties as desired.
  6. Select the main part.
  7. Click the middle mouse button to finish selecting parts.
  8. Pick a point to indicate the origin of the stud or stud group.
  9. Pick a second point to indicate the direction of the stud group x axis.
