Option

Description

Default

Pos_No

Prefix and start number for the part position number.

Some components have a second row of fields where you can enter the assembly position number.

The default part start number is defined in the Components settings in File menu > Settings > Options.

Material

Material grade.

The default material is defined in the Part material box in the Components settings in File menu > Settings > Options.

Name

Name that is shown in drawings and reports.

Parameters tab

Use the Parameters tab to define the base plate corner shape, condensation holes, shear key creation, and leveling plate extra length.

Option Description

Plate wrap around

Define whether the base plate is automatically wrapped around the column and bolts, bolts, or column.

  • Around bolts and column

  • Around bolts

  • Around column

Condensation holes sides 1-4

Define where the condensation holes are located by entering the corner numbers.

Semi-circular holes are placed at the bottom of columns and some circular profiles.

Condensation holes diameter

Define the diameter of the condesation holes.

Base plate corner shape

Description

1

Define which plate corners are reshaped.

You can enter the corner numbers in any order. Corners are not reshaped if you do not enter any numbers.

2

Define the horizontal offset of the plate from the bolt center line.

This offset works when Plate wrap around is set to Automatic.

3

Define the vertical offset of the plate from the bolt center line.

This offset works when Plate wrap around is set to Automatic.

Shear key offset and rotation

Description

1

Define the horizontal offset of the shear key.

2

Define the vertical offset of the shear key.

3

Define the rotation of the shear key around the column center line.

Shear key creation

Option Description

Default

Shear key is not created.

AutoDefaults can change this option.

Shear key is created.

Shear key is not created.

Leveling plate size

Description

1

Define the leveling plate extra length.

Bolts tab

Use the Bolts tab to control the bolt properties.

Bolt group dimensions

Description

1

Select how to measure the dimensions for vertical bolt group position.

  • Top: From the upper edge of the secondary part to the uppermost bolt.

  • Middle: From the center line of the bolts to the center line of the secondary part.

  • Below: From the lower edge of the secondary part to the lowest bolt.

2

Dimension for vertical bolt group position.

3

Number of bolts.

4

Bolt spacing.

Use a space to separate bolt spacing values. Enter a value for each space between bolts. For example, if there are 3 bolts, enter 2 values.

5

Select how to measure the dimensions for horizontal bolt group position.

  • Left: From the left edge of the secondary part to the leftmost bolt.

  • Middle: From the center line of the secondary part to the center line of the bolts.

  • Right: From the right edge of the secondary part to the rightmost bolt.

6

Dimension for horizontal bolt group position.

Bolt group rotation

Description

1

Define the bolt group rotation around the column center line, measured from the column web.

Bolt deletion

Option Description

Edge tolerance for deleting bolts

Define the minumum bolt edge distance for deleting bolts. The distance is measured from the bolt center to the edge of the plate.

Eliminate bolts

Define which bolts are deleted.

Enter the bolt numbers from the first bolt in the first row to the last bolt in the last row, for example, 1 3 10. Enter A or a to delete all bolts.

Bolt basic properties

Option

Description

Default

Bolt size

Bolt diameter.

Available sizes are defined in the bolt assembly catalog.

Bolt standard

Bolt standard to be used inside the component.

Available standards are defined in the bolt assembly catalog.

Tolerance

Gap between the bolt and the hole.

Thread in mat

Defines whether the thread may be within the bolted parts when bolts are used with a shaft.

This has no effect when full-threaded bolts are used.

Yes

Site/Workshop

Location where the bolts should be attached.

Site

Cut length

Defines the depth at which Tekla Structures searches for the sections of the bolted parts. You can determine whether the bolt will go through one flange or two.

Slotted holes

You can define slotted, oversized, or tapped holes.

Option

Description

Default

1

Vertical dimension of slotted hole.

0, which results in a round hole.

2

Horizontal dimension of slotted hole, or allowance for oversized holes.

0, which results in a round hole.

Hole type

Slotted creates slotted holes.

Oversized creates oversized or tapped holes.

No hole does not create holes.

Rotate Slots

When the hole type is Slotted, this option rotates the slotted holes.

Slots in

Part(s) in which slotted holes are created. The options depend on the component in question.

Bolt assembly

The selected check boxes define which component objects (bolt, washers, and nuts) are used in the bolt assembly.

If you want to create a hole only, clear all the check boxes.

To modify the bolt assembly in an existing component, select the Effect in modify check box and click Modify.

Bolt length increase

Define how much the bolt length is increased. Use this option when, for example, painting requires the bolt length to be increased.

Stiffeners tab

Use the Stiffeners tab to define the stiffener dimensions and chamfering.

Stiffener offset

1

Stiffener offset from the base plate.

2

Stiffener offset from the column.

Stiffener positions

Description

1

Stiffener position on the base plate edge.

2

Define on which sides the stiffeners are created.

Chamfer dimensions

Description

1

Horizontal dimension of the chamfer.

2

Vertical dimension of the chamfer.

Chamfer type

Option Description

Default

No chamfer

AutoDefaults can change this option.

Line chamfer
