Add grade redirections

Grade redirections allow Tekla PowerFab to change material shapes and grades that are imported to Tekla PowerFab with the desired shape and grade. When you use grade redirections, the imported material shape and grade are redirected to the appropriate material shape and grade.

For example, if an item to be imported has the grade A500, adding a redirection allows Tekla PowerFab to recognize the grade and use the A500-GR.B grade from the material database.
  1. Go to Maintenance > Shapes/Grades/Sizes

    The Shape/Grade/Size Maintenance dialog opens.

  2. In the shape list, select a shape.
  3. Open the Grades tab.
  4. In the Grade list, select the grade to which you want to redirect.
  5. Open the Redirections tab.
  6. At the bottom of the Redirections tab, click Add.

    The Grade Redirection dialog opens.

  7. In the Shape list, select the import shape.
  8. In the Grade field, type the import grade from which you want to redirect to the grade shown in Redirect to.
