Create a concrete panel or wall

You can create a concrete panel or wall that passes through the points you pick.

  1. On the Concrete tab, click Panel .
  2. Pick the points you want the panel or wall to go through.
  3. Click the middle mouse button.

    Tekla Structures creates the panel or wall using the Concrete panel properties in the property pane

  4. If you want to create curved segments, chamfer the corners of the panel or wall.

    For example:

Alternatively, you can start the command in the property pane.

  1. Ensure that you have nothing selected in the model.
  2. In the property pane, click the Object type list button and select Concrete panel from the list.

    Tekla Structures starts the command and shows the properties in the property pane.

Modify concrete panel or wall properties

  1. If the property pane is not open, double-click the panel or the wall to open the Concrete panel properties.
  2. Change the properties as needed.
  3. Click Modify to apply the changes.

    Tekla Structures uses the new properties the next time you create an object of this type.

Concrete panel or wall properties

Use the Concrete panel properties in the property pane to view and modify the properties of a concrete panel or a wall. To open the properties, double-click the panel or the wall. The file name extension of a concrete panel property file is *.cpn.

If you have customized the property pane layout, the list of properties may be different.

Setting

Description

General

Name

User-definable name of the panel.

Tekla Structures uses part names in reports and in Document manager , and to identify parts of the same type.

Profile

Profile of the panel (thickness × height of the wall).

Material

Material of the panel.

Finish

Type of finish.

Finish is user-definable. It describes how the part surface has been treated.

Class

Use to group panels.

For example, you can display parts of different classes in different colors.

Position

On plane

Panel's position on the work plane , relative to the panel's reference line.

Rotation

Rotation of the panel around its axis on the work plane.

At depth

Position depth of the panel. The position is always perpendicular to the work plane.

End offset

Dx

Change the length of the panel by moving the beam end point along the panel's reference line.

Dy

Move the panel end perpendicular to the panel's reference line.

Dz

Move the panel end in the z direction of the work plane.

Cast unit

Cast unit numbering

Part prefix and start number for the part position number.

Cast unit

Indicate whether the panel or wall is precast or cast in place.

Pour phase

Pour phase of the cast-in-place parts. Use to separate pour objects from one another.

Bending

Plane

Plane of curvature.

Radius

Radius of the curved panel.

Number of segments

Number of segments Tekla Structures uses when drawing the curved panel.
