Important notes for Cold Rolled File Transfer components

February 26, 2015
by Tekla Global Support
0
Cold Rolled File Transfer components export the cold rolled data from the model into CAM files which are used by the Cold Rolled manufacturers. The data required for these files is generated when the cold rolled accessory components (eg. Diagonal ties etc.) are initially applied to the model. If the created parts are subsequently (manually) modified in the model, the data for the CAM files is not updated and subsequently the modified accessories could be ordered with incorrect lengths / quantities. In this situation the components would need to be re-applied to the parts in their modified

Question: I cannot open my model. Instead, I receive this error: “Fatal: Model on disk is corrupted, use the latest backup model. Please run check disk on your drive”. What should I do? Answer: If you are using Tekla Structures 19.0 Final, upgrade to the latest Service Release. This might be enough to solve your problem. If this does not help, contact your local support for possible repair regardless of your maintenance status. We might be able to fix the model. In some cases, it is not possible to restore the data of a corrupt model. These cases are typically caused by a hardware error,
