Profile Catalog updated for AISC Manual of Steel Construction 16th Ed.
The US Imperial profile database has been updated to reflect the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Manual of Steel Construction, 16th Edition, based on the AISC Shapes Database v16.0. This update includes significant enhancements to profile properties.
Profile Values Added
The following properties have been added to all applicable profiles, providing more comprehensive data for design and analysis:
NORMALIZED_WARPING_CONSTANTPLASTIC_MODULUS_XPLASTIC_MODULUS_YSECTION_MODULUS_XSTATICAL_MOMENT_QfSTATICAL_MOMENT_QwTORSIONAL_CONSTANTWARPING_CONSTANTWARPING_STATICAL_MOMENT
Property Data Type Change
The data type for the following profile properties has been changed from Ratio to String to provide greater flexibility and accuracy:
ACTUAL_WEB_THICKNESS_D_CACTUAL_WEB_THICKNESS_D_IACTUAL_WEB_THICKNESS_D_T
SQRT_OF_E_x_Cw_PER_G_x_J Property Values* Removed
The values* have been removed from the profile catalog because it inherently mixes material-dependent properties (Young's Modulus, E, and Shear Modulus, G) with geometry-dependent properties (Warping Constant, Cw, and Torsional Constant, J).
*just the values not the property itself
TSLOC-7730
Common rebar sizes added to the profile catalog
Rebar added to the model with Create reinforcement can not be welded (to steel parts / components) and cannot be included with the Tekla PowerFab Connector. To work around this modeling rebar as a steel part using Create a steel beam or Create a steel polybeam is necessary. To facilitate this workflow, standard rebar sizes have been added to the profile catalog.

New templates for the Steel Standards Project UDA tab
Two new templates (Steel_ProjectStandards.tpl and Steel_ProjectStandards-TBStyle5.tpl) have been provided for the Steel Standards UDA tab information. It has been added to the left side of the layouts.
Image
User-defined attributes (UDAs) to control the output of the Steel Standards tab UDAs values have been added to. The controls add the ability to show the new template on: All, GA, Fabrication, or None drawings.
Image
The TypeA-Dwg_TitleBlocks.tpl and TypeAGM-Dwg_TitleBlocks.tpl have been updated to no longer call out Steel Standards UDA values.

Fix List
| Defect Number | Development Area | Description |
|---|---|---|
| TSLOC-7711 | Numbering | Update XS_PART_POSITION_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING to remove the period: Removed the "." separator between %PART_PREFIX% and %PART_POS% in XS_PART_POSITION_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING. The separator only shows up in the document manager and occasionally causes issues with the export to Tekla PowerFab. |
| TSLOC-8942 | Advanced options | Obsolete advanced options were removed from the environment and role ini files. |
| TSLOC-8966 | Templates | TypeGM-Drg_TitleBlocks.tpl was not outputting for Styles 2→5 and some of the new Standard UDAs don't work in all fields. This has been fixed. |
| TSLOC-8998 | Concrete components | Update parametric profiles in attribute sets: Previously some attribute sets were referencing renamed parametric profiles, these have been updated to the latest. |
| TSLOC-8997 | Concrete catalog | Concrete profiles hidden when using Concrete objects: Some concrete profile groupings were hidden when using concrete objects. This issue was caused by certain groupings being marked as Steel only. |
| TSLOC-9007 | Templates and reports | Added the new User defined attributes to the template editor browser by adding the following files.
|
| TSLOC-9048 | User-defined attributes | UDAs with special flag no longer affect numbering: Previously the US Environment UDAs that should affect numbering were not. This has been fixed in the following files.
