Improvements in components

There are several improvements in concrete components and steel components in Tekla Structures 2018.

Concrete components

Braced girder (88), Braced girder (89)

On the Picture tab, you can now select to add two reinforcing bars at the top and define the distance of these reinforcing bars from the top of the connecting reinforcing bars.

In Braced girder (88) :

Rebar coupler and anchor tools

  • Rebar coupler has been changed so that when you create couplers for rebar sets, Rebar coupler creates a splitter as coupler input. Select the rebar set and pick two points to define a location for the splitter. Then pick a point to define the side of the primary reinforcing bars. You can also use the existing splitter as an input object for Rebar coupler.

    Note that if you delete the couplers, the splitter is not modified or deleted. You need to modify or delete it separately.

  • Rebar end anchor has been changed so that when you create end anchors for rebar sets, Rebar end anchor creates an end detail modifier as end anchor input. Select the rebar set and pick two points to define the location of the end detail modifier. You can also use the existing end detail modifier as an input object for Rebar end anchor.

    Note that if you delete the end anchors, the end detail modifier is not modified or deleted. You need to modify or delete it separately.

Steel components

Stiffener seating (12)

On the Parts tab, you can now define the seat material and name.

Column - 2 beam (14)

You can now define the slotted holes, bolt assembly and bolt length increase on the Bolts 1-2 , Bolts 3 and Bolts 4 tabs.

Generation of purlins (50)

On the Parts tab, you can now set the Use extra purlin positioning option to Yes to change the position and rotation of each even or odd purlin.

Diagonal splice (53)

On the Parts tab, you can now select to create a connection plate or a profile.

Stairs (S71)

You can now set the bolt type on the Stair setup tab when creating catalog steps. If you select the Workshop option, the bolts are shown in workshop assembly drawings in the list of workshop bolts.

Splice connection (77)

You can now create web connections as profiles or plates. Previously, you could create them as plates only.

Turnbuckle connection (126)

When you have selected that threads are not cut, you can now select the size of the thread and create the thread 1 mm smaller. The new option is available on the Parameters tab.

Bolted moment connection (134)

You can now define separate values for the gap between the near side stiffener and the beam web edge, and the far side stiffener and the beam web edge. Previously, you could define the gap between the near side stiffener and the beam web edge.

Full depth S (185)

On the Stiffeners tab, you can now define the opposite web stiffener offset from the shear tab center line.

Column with stiffeners (188)

You can now use weld number 10 to control the welds between the doubler plate and the main part.

Doubler plate (1022), Welded column with stiffeners (128), Bolted moment connection (134), Moment connection (181), Column with stiffeners W (182), Beam prep (183), Column with stiffeners (186), Column with stiffeners S (187), Column with stiffeners (188)

On the Doubler plate tab, you can now select whether doubler plates are cut in the area that connects the main part web and flange.
