Define standardized values for parametric profiles

You can define standardized values for the dimensions of parametric profiles. The standardized values are visible in the profile catalog where you can select suitable dimension values for the profiles.

  1. Under ..\ProgramData\Trimble\Tekla Structures\<version>\environments\<environment> folder, locate the industry_standard_profiles.inp file. The exact file location may vary depending on the folder structure of your environment files.
  2. Open the industry_standard_profiles.inp file using any standard text editor, for example, Microsoft Notepad.
  3. Modify the file.

    The file has the following format:

    • profile and profile subtype
    • parameters separated by spaces
    • units for each parameter
    • standardized values for each parameter.

      Each dimension combination has its own row.

  4. Save the file.

Example

For example, the standardized combinations of dimension values for a C profile are as follows:
